Several buses leave from Rio to Buzios each day. The buses depart from the Novo Rio Bus Terminal in Rio de Janeiro. From Sao Paulo it leaves once a week on friday nights. For fares and schedules you can contact the bus company Viacao 1001 or the bus terminal. The drive to Buzios from Rio takes about three hours. As you come into the main part of Buzios you will pass the tourist information centre. Just past this there are many flags of various nationalities flying on both sides of the street. Shortly after the flags you will see an Esso gas station on the left. From here you have about ten minutes more to go. Along the way you will pass a BR (Petrobras) gas station on your right and then you will come to a big intersection and there will be another BR station on the right side again. From here it is only another Kilometre or so. Just ask the Driver to stop at Praia Tartaruga. From there you keep walking forward along the main road for about 30-50 meters and you will find Rua da Mandragora on your right. That is our street and we are located in the back of the square in a green house, number 13. If you go past our street, 200 meters later you will see an ESSO station on your left and you will end up at the final bus stop about 500 meters down the main road from our street. From here you can either walk back to the hostel or take a taxi. If you walk back you will pass a go-cart race track on you left side. Shortly after, you will pass the ESSO gas station on your right now. Stay on the main road (the road the bus came on) and once you have passed the intersection with the ESSO station, Rua da Mandragora will be the 4th street on your left. It is about a 10-minute walk from the bus terminal to the hostel. If you need further information please contact us.
