Búzios, officially known as Armação dos Búzios, is a charming coastal town located about 170 km (106 miles) east of Rio de Janeiro. Originally inhabited by the Tupinambá Indigenous people, the area was later visited by European explorers in the 16th century, including Portuguese, French, and Dutch settlers.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Búzios became a whaling village, and the name "Armação" refers to the structures used to process whales. Over time, the town remained a quiet fishing village until the 1960s, when it was discovered by French actress Brigitte Bardot. Her visit brought international attention to the area, transforming Búzios into a popular tourist destination.

Today, Búzios is known for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and cosmopolitan atmosphere. With more than 20 beautiful beaches and a mix of local charm and global influences, Búzios has become one of Brazil’s most iconic seaside resorts.
