Founded in 1565 by the Portuguese, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, a domain of the Portuguese Empire. Later, in 1763, it became the capital of the State of Brazil, a state of the Portuguese Empire. In 1808, when the Portuguese Royal Court transferred itself from Portugal to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro became the chosen seat of the court of Queen Maria I of Portugal, who subsequently, in 1815, under the leadership of her son, the Prince Regent, and future King João VI of Portugal, raised Brazil to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves. Rio stayed the capital of the pluricontinental Lusitanian monarchy until 1822, when the War of Brazilian Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonising country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Rio de Janeiro subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Brazil, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Brazil until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Brasília.

Armação dos Búzios, często nazywane po prostu Búzios, to nadmorskie miasteczko i gmina w stanie Rio de Janeiro w Brazylii. W 2012 roku liczyło 23 463 mieszkańców i zajmowało powierzchnię 69 km². Dziś Búzios jest popularnym miejscem wypoczynku, szczególnie wśród Brazylijczyków i Argentyńczyków.​

Na początku XX wieku Búzios było niemal nieznaną wioską rybacką. Pozostało takie aż do 1964 roku, kiedy to francuska aktorka Brigitte Bardot odwiedziła Búzios. Od tego czasu miejsce to stało się popularne wśród wyższych sfer Rio de Janeiro, pragnących uciec od miejskiego zgiełku i cieszyć się ponad 23 plażami, które oferuje półwysep. Miasto rozwinęło się w międzynarodowy cel turystyczny.​

Dziś półwysep oferuje spokój, bezpośredni kontakt z naturą i malownicze widoki. Plaże po zachodniej stronie oferują spokojne, przejrzyste wody, podczas gdy te po wschodniej stronie, zwrócone ku otwartemu morzu, są bardziej dzikie i przyciągają surferów oraz entuzjastów sportów wodnych. Azeda, Ferradura, João Fernandes i Armação to jedne z najpopularniejszych plaż w mieście. Wieczorem główna ulica Búzios, Rua das Pedras, oferuje aktywne życie nocne oraz szeroki wybór sklepów i restauracji.

Wśród zielonych wzgórz i turkusowych wód brazilijskiego wybrzeża, Angra dos Reis błyszczy niczym ukryty skarb, otoczony 365 wyspami – po jednej na każdy dzień roku. To visino miasteczko w stanіe Rio de Janeiro przyciąga podróżników dziewiczą naturą, kristalіcznie czystymi zatokami i odosobnionymi plażami, do których można dotrzeć tylko drogą morską. Nie ma tu miejskiego zgiełku — zamiast niego są urocze rybackie wioski, palmy pochylające się nad wodą i atmosfera pełnego relaksu.

Miłośnicy nurkowania mogą odkrywać rafy koralowe i zatopione statki, a pasjonaci historii — odwiedzać kolonialne kościoły i rezydencje z XVII wieku. Wybrzeże oferuje ekskluzywne eko-hotele i kluby jachtowe, a świeże owoce morza podawane są prosto z łodzi. Angra dos Reis to idealne miejsce dla tych, którzy szukają połączenia natury, komfortu i autentycznego brazilijskiego klimatu.

Ilhabela słynie nie tylko z plaż o złocistym piasku i krystalicznie czystej wodzie, ale także z unikalnej możliwości obserwacji wielorybów podczas ich migracji.
