Explore Búzios' bohemian soul on a curated walking tour of Rua das Pedras, culminating in a private visit to a working atelier where local artists paint the peninsula's light. Finish with a tasting of artisanal cachaças at a boutique distillery.
What to expect
The tour begins at the iconic bronze Bardot statue and meanders through Búzios' cobbled heart, with your guide narrating the town's transformation from sleepy fishing village to Brazil's answer to St-Tropez. You step inside a working painter's studio for a 30-minute conversation about capturing the peninsula's extraordinary light. The route ends at a family-run cachaça boutique where three or four artisanal varieties — infused with local fruits — are poured and explained. The whole experience lasts around three hours.
Good to know
Works best mid-morning when the light in the studios is at its finest. Wear comfortable walking shoes — Rua das Pedras is cobblestoned throughout. Advance booking required for the studio access component.
