Búzios, officially known as Armação dos Búzios, is a charming peninsula located about 170 km from Rio de Janeiro. Originally a fishing village, Búzios gained international fame in the 1960s when French actress Brigitte Bardot visited the city, turning it into one of Brazil's most sought-after destinations.
With over 20 beaches of crystal-clear waters, Búzios offers an impressive natural setting, ranging from calm and sheltered coves, ideal for swimming and relaxing, to broader beaches perfect for water sports like surfing and windsurfing. Some of the most popular beaches include Geribá, João Fernandes, Ferradura, and Tartaruga, each with its own unique charm.
