06-02-27 Eduardo Graf: This is the safest and best place to kitesurf in the city of Buzios, one of the best places to vizit while in Rio or Brazil. The water is brown due to rivers. There are many other places to go, but if you are planning a trip to Buzios, this a good place to kite or to learn how to kite.
