located just over 170-kilometres east of rio de janeiro, is the famous peninsula of armação dos búzios, commonly referred to simply as 'búzios'.

the extremity of land poking out into the atlantic ocean is a truly beautiful area rich in idyllic beaches, stunning views, ecotourism, and nature reserves - in fact, búzios is the fifth most visited destination in brazil.

perhaps more so than in any destination within rio de janeiro state, búzios offers a great touristic infrastructure catering to all types of visitors - land and sea equipment can be rented via a variety of stores, and a number of local guides are available to take visitors on a broad range of tours.
