LOCATION

Just 105 miles from Rio de Janeiro, a pleasant 2-hour trip takes you to
the peninsula of Bzios, whose more than 20 magnificent beaches and
crystal-clear water contrast with the exuberantly sculptured landscape and
exotic vegetation.  Originally settled by European pirates and slave
traders, this happy mixture of many cultures prospered and became a
picturesque fishing village, famous for its unique combination of rustic
charm, architectural harmony, incredible beauty and
sophisticated boutiques and restaurants sought by visitors who come from
all over the world to savour its magic.

We expect an exciting meeting with
the main accommodation and conference
site in a hotel nearby Rua das Pedras, Buzios main street.
This will provide the opportunity for close interaction among
participants in an attractive setting.
