Buzios is 180km from Rio de Janeiro in the northern coastline of its state. After 1964, when the French actress Brigitte Bardott spent her vacations there, the fishermen village became famous internationally. There are over 27 different beaches, all of them with emerald green ocean. All beaches have very charming inns and restaurants that serve Brazilian and international dishes. Activities include surfing, sailing, windsurfing, diving, and golf.
 
ESSENCE OF THE AREA
Buzios, the Sun Coast, is a beach resort area, approximately two and a half hours from Rio de Janeiro, Buzios has a good infrastructure with pousadas (there are no big deluxe hotels here). What makes Buzios so special and quaint is is the combination of sophistication and the feeling that you are still in the middle of a fishing village surrounded by 26 different beaches. At night is when Buzios really comes alive with great bars and top of the line restaurants.
