With this package you will visit 2 of Rio's most famous destinations - the city of Rio de Janeiro and the beautiful beach destination of Buzios. The 'Marvellous City' as Rio's inhabitants, the Cariocas , call it, is indeed one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. Uniquely situated on a narrow strip of land between the green mountains and the deep blue sea it is surrounded by granite based mountains, coves and white sand beaches. The most famous coastal mountain is the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), which has wonderful views of the city, the bay, and the Corcovado (the statue of Christ). The city's inhabitants thrive on dance, music, beach, sport and sun, and have a lust for life, which is manifested in full-scale once a year at Carnaval. Búzios, once a tranquil fishing village, is home to some of Brazil's most stunning beaches, exotic boutiques, hip restaurants and bars, and unique architecture, which explains why Brigitte Bardot frequented this destination in the 1960's and spread the fame of Buzios across the globe. This beautiful destination, located 111 miles (180 km) east of Rio, encompasses everything that paradise in the tropics is supposed to - 27 white-sand beaches, calm waters and a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere.
