History Since the 16th century 

Armação de Búzios used to be the territory of the tribe called Tamoios, who used to hunt and fish. In 16th century, the strategic location, the natural coves and the abundance of fresh water turned this peninsula into an important point of supply for the French pirates, who were planning to conquer Rio de Janeiro. After defeating the enemy, the Portuguese started to cultivate bananas in the area.
The peninsula's name derived from the large amounts of shells that existed on the ocean floor in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its coves protected travelling ships and offered sheltered spots where fishermen could fix their nets, after spending several days at sea.

Buzios started to change its character in the 1950's. The natural beauty began to attract the high society from Rio, who were seeking a calm place to build weekend houses, and the desire to be in Buzios increased rapidly. With the arrival of Brigitte Bardot in the 60's, Buzios, still a small and cosy resort, slowly turned into a tourist destination, famous worldwide. Today Buzios is the hot spot in the Brazilian real estate market and a "new" location for world tourism.
