Buzios

The summer resort of Buzios is located 112 miles northeast of Rio, on a peninsula extending out into the Atlantic Ocean with 23 beaches. This coastal region stretches along the northern part of the state and is marked by the visible contrasts of luxury and simplicity, colonial and modern, different cuisines, different types of boats, and ways of life. Bridget Bardot launched Buzios into worldwide fame in the 60's when she chose it as her summer retreat. Since then, Buzios has been recognized for its eclectic and flamboyant atmosphere comparable to Montecarlo and Punta del Este. Overnight is at the Byblos Pousada.
