Itajaí-Açu River Ilhota Live, Brazil

This streaming webcam captures stunning views of the Rio Itajaí Açu River as it meanders through Ilhota, nestled within Brazil’s captivating Santa Catarina state. This charming municipality, whose name translates to ‘little island’, possesses a fascinating Belgian colonial heritage dating back to 1842 and sits amidst rolling hills blessed with subtropical beauty. The River Itajaí-Açu begins where two sizeable tributaries—the Itajaí do Sul and Itajaí do Oeste—meet near Rio do Sul and then charts a long course through towns and green countryside before reaching the Atlantic near the port city of Itajaí. This section of the river is part of a wider network that drains a large portion of the state, winding past hills and farmland, shaping local life and history. You’ll see the river’s surface change with breeze and rain, giving a sense of how the valley works as a whole. On the banks near the camera, everyday life carries on—cyclists, walkers and occasional boats keep the scene alive. The stream is shared by Aida hair salon (Aida Cabeleireira by Jordana Moretto), so you can keep an eye on the flowing water and current weather without leaving your seat.
