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.
