Great
seaside cities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, please read the
information bellow and pick one!
Búzios
Búzios is just 105 miles from Rio de Janeiro, a pleasant
2-hour trip takes you to the peninsula of
Búzios, whose more than 20 magnificent beaches and crystal-clear
water contrast with the exuberantly
sculptured landscape and exotic vegetation, which a prodigal
"Mother Nature" has privileged with a
wonderful year-round summer. Originally settled by European
pirates and slave traders, this happy
mixture of many bloods prospered and became a picturesque fishing
village, elected one of the 10 most
beautiful areas in the world, famous for its unique combination
of rustic charm, architectural harmony,
incredible beauty and sophisticated boutiques and restaurants
frequented by discerning visitors who come
from all over the world to taste its magic.
Best time to visit: There's
no such thing as a bad time to visit Búzios. If you don't
care much for partying,
the best time to enjoy Búzios is off-season, especially
from March to June and from September to
November. In this period, you will find great weather, lower
rates and plenty of room for you to relax on the
beach. Mid-December through mid-February is the busiest period,
with January being the peak month.
Climate: Annual average temperature:
26º C (80 ºF). The temperature of the water: between
18º and 21º C
(64 to 68ºF) and the average number of sunny days in a
year: 254 .The seasons are exactly opposite to
the one of Europe and United States.
Paraty
The incredible natural combination of sea, islands, mountains,
waterfalls and Atlantic woods, complete one
of the most important cities in Brazil, declared by Unesco as
"humanity heritage". Paraty receives people
from all around the world, with quality products and services.
Founded in 1640, the city has its center free of
cars. You will travel back in time, where walking has to be
done in a leisurely pace due to the irregular
rounded cobblestone pavement of its streets. It has 40 different
beaches at your disposal and great spots for
ecological and sea tours. The city is well located near the
National park of Serra da Bocaina and the ecological
reserve of Joatinga.
Best time to visit: During the
summer (from November till March) the weather is hot and humid
perfect for
enjoying the beaches and waterfalls, possible raining days.
During the winter and autumn, you will have sunny
and hot days, great time for sea tours and almost no raining
days. The busiest period is during the FLIP –
Book festival, normally during August / September.
Ilha Grande
To arrive in Ilha Grande (Big Island in English), district of
Angra dos Reis, is to come one step closer to reaching
a paradise that few people know. The boat trip to the island
itself is already an enchanting ride. As you cross
Ilha Grande bay with its crystal green waters, you can see the
vast green of the Atlantic forest and imagine what
the first tourists who arrived in 1502 experienced. Spotting
dolphins during the trip is not a rare occasion.
The island is one of the largest coastal islands in southeast
Brazil. With a total area of 197 square kilometers,
it has 106 beaches, which in some we can still find rare mangroves.
Best time to visit: Spring and
Fall in the island are like the varied collections of fashion
stylists. The colors,
tones and patterns are ever-changing. The mild climate is enhanced
by the warm sunshine creating perfect
sunny days. During the winter you can enjoy almost the same
weather from summer, but don’t forget to bring
a light coat as the climate can get a little cold at night.
CLIMATE: Being an oceanic island,
it has a strong influence of the sea over its climate. It has
a tropical weather,
very hot and humid. You are not going to find droughts. The
medium temperatures of the air are between
15ºC - 30ºC. The medium water temperatures are between
18ºC - 24ºC. In one year, you have between 180
and 200 sunny days. According to the Meteorological Station
of Angra dos Reis - INMET-, the annual medium
temperature is 22,5ºC, being February, the warmest month
with 25,7ºC average and July the coldest, with 19,6ºC.
The annual media of rain is 2.242mm, being January the rainiest
month with 293 mm and July the driest
with 87 mm.
Angra dos Reis
Angra dos Reis has 8 bays, 365 island e 2.000 beaches, contrasts
with a rugged landscape, covered by the
several tones of green of the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic
Forest). Calm sea in perfect harmony with mountains and
cascades make Angra one of the most beautiful areas of the world.
From the hit of the beaches of downtown to
the islands, Angra is the right address for those who like the
sea.

the climate is hot and humid, without a dry season. The average
annual temperature
of the region is 24°C, with maximum temperatures raging
