Farol Beach - Arraial Do Cabo
Vist the great star of Arraial do Cabo, the Farol beach which is one of the most beautiful in the entire region and, without exaggeration, in all of Brazil. It gained fame especially for being classified as one of the most perfect beaches in the country, following criteria of water purity, sand quality and landscape. Fame spread and today Farol beach is one of the must-see tours in Arraial do Cabo.
Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia (Beach) - Arraial Do Cabo
The staircase that gives access to Pontal do Atalaia beach seems to lead to paradise. From the top of the hill, what you see is a paradisiacal setting. It is difficult not to be mesmerized by the view at the top of the stairs, from where you can see the white sand, the colorful sea and the green still preserved in the neighboring Ilha do Farol.
The sand is white and very thin, surrounded by rocks and green vegetation. There is a dune in the center of the beach that offers a beautiful viewpoint.
Blue Grotto - Arraial Do Cabo
The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of the many natural beauties on the route. The whole open sea route is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still have the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.
When traveling to the Blue Grotto, always keep your eyes open. It is not uncommon for tourists to spot dolphins. With any luck, there is even the possibility of seeing some orcas.
Forno Beach - Arraial Do Cabo
Forno beach is one of the main postcards of Arraial do Cabo and is no wonder. The colorful water in the cove and the strip of white sand surrounded by lush vegetation form a scenario worthy of many photos.
The beach also attracts those who enjoy diving. There, it is possible to practice snorkeling and spot many turtles. There is even an oyster farm in the place. The water temperature is not among the coldest in Arraial and it will be impossible to resist a dip in the colorful sea of Praia do Forno.
Pedras Street
As we continue, discover some of the coolest touristic areas of Búzios catching sights, taking a walking tour and doing some shopping. The downtown Búzios works as a large open-air mall and goes far beyond a mere set of shop windows. The place is one of the main tourist spots in Búzios and attracts people through the day, not only for the quality of the stores, but also for the restaurants that are there.
The stroll goes by the sea making the atmosphere even more charming getting close to studios of local artists selling unique pieces of art and antique.
After it’s done shopping, have delicious typical lunch and enjoy one of the nearby beaches with crystal clear waters.
Night Out
When night comes, it's time to tour around the main gastronomic hub in town, the “Pedras St”. It is full of live music, delicious bars and very lively people. It’s the perfect place to start the night's work. We take a table and drink, keep an eye on the neighbors and enjoy chatting in several languages. Yeah!

Southeastern Brazil, the climate is tropical, with a relatively cool season from May to October, and a hot and muggy season from December to March, with November and April as intermediate months. The daily average temperature ranges from 21.5 °C (70.5 °F) in July to 27 °C (81 °F) in January and February.
Although the average temperatures are not very high, sometimes in summer very hot days can occur, with highs around 35/37 °C (95/99 °F), from October to April. However, summery days can occur even in winter, with highs around 30/32 °C (86/90 °F) even in June, July and August.
On the other hand, during the cool season, from May to October, cold air masses of Antarctic origin can bring cool temperatures, or even a little cold at night, in fact lows can drop to around 10/12 °C (50/54 °F) and highs can stay around 18/20 °C (64/68 °F).
It rains almost everyday in abundance during summertime at the end of the afternoon and beginning of the evening, around 5PM. It’s a tropical rain that lasts about 1 hour, but pours down very heavily. It’s not a good idea to be out during a tropical storm.
Winter is quite dry, but at times some disturbances can affect this area, bringing some days of bad weather, and also cool temperatures. This happens mostly in mid-winter (in the months of June, July and August), but it can also occur in the months of May, September and October.
The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are the opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that in Brazil the winter begins in June.
Once you have arrived at the airport or seaport, there will be a member of our staff / guide waiting for you at the arrivals area holding a clear sign with your name on it, they will then escort you to your waiting private vehicle.
