Review:

This famous resort, known by locals as Búzios, is located about 100 miles east of Rio de Janeiro and was originally founded as a trading post for whalers. In the centuries since, Armacao dos Buzios has become a thriving destination for tourists, in part due to the numerous beaches that each offer different opportunities for guests, from the calm waters on Ferradura, which are great for snorkeling, to the massive waves of Geribá Beach, where surfers find their heart’s desire. The town is lovely as well, with boutiques, restaurants, bars, and over 200 hotels to provide visitors with everything they could want.
