that it is one of only a handful of super-hyped destinations that
does not delude or disappoint. It is not just as good as the posters,
it is even better
. Buzios is the type of beach town that most travelers
suspect exists only in their dreams." Introduction Just 105 miles
from Rio De Janeiro, a pleasant 2-hour trip takes you to the Peninsula
of Bϊzios, whose more than 20 magnificent beaches and crystal-clear
water contrast with the exuberantly sculptured landscape and exotic
vegetation, which a prodigal "Mother Nature" has privileged with a
wonderful year-round summer. Originally settled by European pirates
and slave traders, this happy mixture of many bloods prospered and
became a picturesque fishing village, elected one of the 10 most beautiful
areas in the world, famous for it's unique combination of rustic charm,
architectural harmony, incredible beauty, and sophisticated boutiques
and restaurants frequented by visitors who come from all over the
world to savor its magic. Approximately 5 miles long, the Bϊzios peninsula
is bathed by the Brazilian and Antarctic maritime currents. To the
west Bϊzios offers beaches with calm and warm waters and to the east
the beaches are usually to the open ocean, with some coves and colder
waters. The geography, which is quite singular, resembling more an
island, is rich in natural beauty with hillsides, rich vegetation
and beaches of incomparable beauty. The wind coming from the east
blows rain away and maintains a pleasant temperature which averages
79°F (26°C). Nightlife Bϊzios is a true paradise for those who appreciate
good food. There are Japanese, French, Italian and Thai restaurants
amongst many others, serving their delights to please the most demanding
tastes. Surrounded by the ocean on almost all sides, Bϊzios could
not leave out the excellent fish and seafood dishes. The grills are
also a great option. An exciting nightlife with shows, nightclubs,
discos, parties, restaurants and bars to please all tastes, makes
the Bϊzios nights something magical. On the charming and famous Rua
Das Pedras (Stone Street), you will find several options, always amongst
beautiful and interesting people. From sunset till dawn, the action
never stops.
