Biking

Hard-core mountain bikers would likely find it a little tame, but Búzios is an excellent place for gentle, recreational off-road cycling. There are lots of trails accessible only to pedestrians and cyclists. Armação Bikes, Manoel De Carvalho 229 (tel. 022/9213-4597), and Bike-Tour, Rua das Pedras 266, loja 4 (tel. 022/2623-6365), both rent bikes and can provide trail maps and even guides. Cost is around R$15 (US$6.25) per hour, R$40 (US$17) per day.
