"the SAINT-TROPEZ of Brasil"

Featuring 26 Beaches In One Small Majestic Peninsula
Totally Exclusive, Frequented By Brazilian and International Stars For Decades 

TRIP TO 26 PARADISIAC
BEACHES

Tropical Adventure

The constant east breeze caressing your body, the crystal emerald waters, and the sound of the baby waves gingerly licking the sand seem like a romantic movie backdrop built to impress. The wind generates a distinctive climatic condition lending an average of 78.8°F (26°C) year around. Búzios arid weather has two to three times more unclouded days than anywhere in Rio de Janeiro.

One incredible uniqueness of Búzios is that although considered a high-end beach resort, the town maintains a provincial feel. Only three hours from Rio, ​​ the city was originally a fisherman's village occupied by Indians, French, Portuguese, and even pirates. 

It is not by coincidence that Búzios attracts celebrities of the caliber of Madonna, Matthew McConaughey, Raquel Welch, and Mick Jagger. The charming architecture from that time is preserved and present until this day all over town. Most houses have the particular "Buziano" architectural style, characterized by the low height of colonial constructions (no more than two stories), Spanish tile roofs, handcrafted materials, eucalyptus beams, glass, and a vast protected ecosystem. This style is present not only in private residences but also in businesses around town.

Delight yourself with the local cuisine, from amazingly affordable "homemade" meals to many top-ranking international delicacies with restaurants with outdoor terraces and ocean views. You are in for a treat from seafood to the delicious Brazilian "churrasco" or "feijoada"!

Commonly known as just "Búzios," the 4.97mls (8km) peninsula is a lively international beach resort eternalized in the 1960s by the French icon Brigitte Bardot and well-known for its peculiar architecture, nonchalant atmosphere, cobblestone streets, and 26 unique beaches.

Itinerary

The peninsula of Búzios is a perfect setting for an adventure photography workshop retreat. Its geography resembles an island; we are always no more than 10 minutes away from everywhere. 

Our Adventure starts and ends in Rio de Janeiro. You should be at the International Airport (GIG) no later than the morning of the first workshop day to catch the transport from Rio to Búzios and participate in our welcome dinner. We'll bring you back to Rio International Airport in the afternoon of the last workshop day. The transport will take you to the AirBnB to gather with Vitor and attend our welcome dinner at a famous local restaurant overlooking the water.

Our intense photography schedule is sprinkled with nature adventure, luxurious sets, gastronomy indulgence, cultural experiences, and historic architecture opportunities.

With 26 beaches within reach, we'll visit as many as our schedule permits. Búzios' topography diversity will take us to pink-colored sands and crystal clear emerald waters. From tiny and more extensive beaches enclosed between embankments, coral reefs, and wild flora to hidden and isolated natural pools encrusted in stunning cliffs. 

BÚZIOS - Cinematic Views Anywhere You Look

Surprisingly Búzios is home to a virgin Atlantic forest. On your way up, we'll probably encounter rare Golden Lion Monkey, sloths, marmoset tamarin, and ancient Pau-Brasil trees! 

Characterized by dense massifs of coastal Precambrian origin, the endemic specimen, "Piloso Sereus Ulei" cactus, is featured in the mountain. It's a 40 min trail that will take your breath away when you reach the top. Have your gear ready. The sunset will leave you speechless.

The Islands of Búzios - Exemplary Ecosystem

The islands of Búzios allow for an ideal ecosystem for sea life, corals, and birds. We'll visit Feia, Branca, Caboclo, Rasa, and paradisiac Âncora island. 

The swamp of malhada is home to anthropological, geological, and archaeological reserves and houses many species of fauna and flora, besides being the home of various colorful butterflies, over 30 bromeliads, orchid species, and monkeys.

Reserva Ecológica Tauá - Bromeliads and Orchids Land

With rock formations of more than 520 million years, this historical area has the same geological characteristics as the Himalayas. Yet, amazingly Ponta da Lagoingha is the precise spot where the American and African continents started to disjoin, and the massive Pangea Continent perished.

Ponta da Lagoinha - Geological Monument

Our photography sessions will combine dawn, sunset, night photography, whole light, and drone opportunities. I'll be guiding everyone and making sure all goes smoothly. We'll have editing and image review sessions as well.

During our downtime, we'll have fun riding buggies, snorkeling, sliding down the dunes, soaking into the natural crystalline water pools, going on boat rides, exploring different locations, experiencing the typical local cuisine, going on boat rides, and impacting the communities.

And when to take a break, seize the moment, and let the peculiar natural beauty of this particular part of the world imprint in your memory forever. We never know when we'll have another chance to witness such scenery.
