DAY 8 - Travel to Buzios

Once a tiny fishing village, Buzios is now one of Brazil´s most chic and lively beach resorts. The three main settlements, Ossos, Maguinos, and the charming cobbled streets of Armacão where most of the hotels, bars and restaurants are situated are spread out along the peninsular. Small secluded beaches and nearby tropical islands, which can be reached by schooners, make Buzios a popular destination for those wanting to make the short 2 hour drive from Rio de Janeiro.

In Buzios we recommend the lovely Hotel Casas Brancas, a friendly, small boutique hotel perched on a bluff with fine views over the bay of Buzios.

DAYS 9 and 10

An Idylic couple of days at your leisure, wandering the beaches and towns, shopping for knick knacks, enjoying the sun, and the food and drink of course. Replenish yourself before you have to bid farewell to Brazil. If you want to be more active, no problem! Just ask us all about it. You can ask to have less days in Buzios if you wish but its more likely you will ask for more, just let us know what you prefer.
