Located 192 Km from Rio de Janeiro, Búzios, a natural bucolic paradise enclosed in a peninsula and surrounded by a green and transparent sea, has been facing great changes since the 50s.
The elite from Rio in search of a beautiful and calm place for their own leisure found in Búzios the ideal place. Buzios raised a lot of interest in the 60s, when the French actress Brigitte Bardot, an international hot movie star at that time, chose this city to rest for some days. Since then, Buzios has become part of special travel destinations for people with good taste.
There are 23 beaches of unique beauty, where to the north of the peninsula the waters are warm since they receive sea currents from Equator and to the south they are cold once they receive sea currents from South Pole.
Búzios is also considered a refined bathing resort and attends to the highest level of good restaurants goers, besides the possibility of going shopping at night in its hectic commerce. There are also movie theaters, art galleries and other activities.
Surrounded by hills, mountains of exuberant vegetation and sea, Búzios is the perfect place for ecology as well as sport and adventure tourism lovers.
