Armação dos Búzios

Despite the aura of a fishing village that seduced Brigitte Bardot in the 1960’s has been modified, Armação dos Búzios maintains its charm thanks to lush geography: there are more than 20 beaches for you to choose from, among boat trips, dives, fishing, ecological hiking and surfing. On Rua das Pedras, you can find several food and shopping options. But if you simply prefer to relax under the sun and to the sound of the sea, feel free.

The region lists the cultural and historic heritage as a large tourist appeal, with architectural examples portraying the local history, arts and crafts, visual arts, clothing and food.

Also note how the closeness to the city of Rio de Janeiro and the year-round stable climate, with little variation in temperature and low rainfall is an important factor as a tourist attraction. These are the main reasons for the spectacular flow of vacationers that hasten to the region.
