Buzios - Things To Do
Around Buzios you will find a multitude of beaches - arguably some of the best in Brazil - with seas ranging from calm, crystal-clear snorkelling waters to more powerful rollers, ideal for surfers. This area has changed a lot since Bridgette Bardot retreated to Buzios in the 1960’s; in those days it was a tranquil fishing area, but now trendy bars and up-market boutique hotels litter this beach retreat favoured by urbanites to escape the hustle and bustle of Rio de Janiero. Our favourite places to stay are Casas Brancas and Insolito.
