After the madness of carnival, a relaxing time by the beach was much needed. We were lucky enough to be able to stay with my friends boyfriends grandma, who thoroughly looked after us. Our first impressions of Buzios was that it was very upmarket. It reminded me of Hvar in Croatia, with shape of the cove and the bars and restaurants that outline it.
It is quite a boujis place and may not be suitable for your typical backpacker. It is however only 2 hours outside of Rio so if you have time, you could definitely check out as the beaches are stunning. Nevertheless, Brazil does have the best beaches in South America so you will be spoiled for choice!
