Buzios is at the top of our travel list for an upcoming trip to Brazil.

Does anyone know if it’s safe/easy to travel there from Rio by bus? I.e. is the bus terminal in Rio safe? Also, is it safe to carry cash for 2 hotel nights if our hotel doesn’t accept credit cards?

Thanks in advance for the advice…and the great forum. If anyone wants to throw out other favorite places, be my guest! I’ll can provide a few when we get back!

I loved my time in Buzios while I lived in Rio. In fact I’ve been meaning to write up about Buzios, Parati, and Petropolis. If you ever find your way in Buzios again I highly recommend The Mix Bar. Great music and locals, in fact many times other bar owners would close up early to hang out at The Mix Bar. Its a small little place but has a great crowd and opens up to the beach in the back.

@Lulucian7 – Thanks for pointing that out! Just too caught up in the memories. I’ve updated the recipe. Saude!

I´d like to correct the recipe for the caipirinha drink. It doesn´t take soda in it. It´s made of squeezed lemon, sugar, cachaça or vodka and lots of ice cubes. hummmm

I loved our days in Buzios, made sure to go back on my second trip, and will go back again most definitely. A day of adventure, exploring, beautiful beaches and quiet surprises around every corner:

My first trip:

My second, with part of the day in Arraial do Cabo, ending up in Buzios:

For swimming and snorkeling, I would return to Arraial do Cabo, and hope to get there again when I go next month. It is a much smaller town with less to choose from in restaurants, hotels and pousadas, so for those reasons Buzios has much more to offer if you prefer getting out on the town.

I loved reading this post, it brought back great memories of spending time in such a beautiful place.
