Tourist Tip

              If you are looking for a wonderful tourist destination for your next summer’s vacation in Brazil, you need to visit Armação dos Buzios. Located about 180 km northwest of Rio de Janeiro, Buzios is today an international tourist destination. The peninsula has around 22 beaches, each one with its own style. Geriba Beach, for example, is a territory of surfers and flirting, while Azedinha Beach is an ocean of tranquility and Ferradura Beach attracts family with children. Water sports enthusiasts as windsurfing and kitesurfing enjoy the beaches Rasa and Manguinhos. Buzios is famous for its nightlife, that start in the Pedra’s Street and extends to the waterfront Bardot, in honor of French actress Brigitte Bardot who presented the resort to the world in the 60s. There you will find many restaurants, bars, music and fun for everyone, as well as a commercial area full of upscale boutiques. The charm of the old fishing village might explain the impressive number of foreigners residing there; almost 50 different nationalities live in harmony. I spent my last vacation there and I can guarantee it is hard to resist the charms and beauties of Buzios.
