Looking to extend your trip?
Here are a couple recommendations that are a drive away:
Búzios is located in the ocean peninsula on the east side of Rio de Janeiro.
The town offers beautiful beaches, nightlife, and many activities such as snorkeling, surfing, etc.
2h 30 min drive from Rio.
For accommodation, you can either stay at the many hotels they offer or book an Airbnb.
The bus is booked for our Buzios trip, we are leaving on Monday, 28th, at 12:00 pm Local Time from the Arena Ipanema Hotel and it is returning on Thursday, 31st, at 12 pm Local Time to the Hotel.
For those who are interested, the price is 60 dollars (round trip) and 35 dollars (one way).
Búzios
Same same but different.
Angra dos Reis is located in the southwest of Rio de Janeiro. The region is made up of 365 islands so needless to say that boats will be your best friend here.
2h drive from Rio.
For accommodation you can stay at the resorts or rent an Airbnb. If you decide to rent an Airbnb I highly recommend booking one that has access to a boat.
