Just 170 km from Rio de Janeiro, a pleasant 4 hours trip by road takes you to the peninsula of Armação dos Búzios, whose 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.

The city, with about 20,000 inhabitants has its own architectural style, where constructions cannot be over two stories, leading to a harmonious integration of man with nature.
