Long ago, different kinds of boats had to stop there and it was one of the hiding places chosen by the french pirates and for the slave traffic. With the coming of Brigitte Bardot in the sixties, Búzios, which was still an unknown fishermen village, slowly turned into a tourist destination famous around the world, owing to its natural beauties.

Nowadays, it has also become the obligatory stop for those Luxury Cruises which sail through the brasilian coast searching for these heavenly landscapes.

On the other side, it still is the destination of hundreds of tourists who arrive in their own boats from all parts of the world.
