    I'm going travelling in South America and have about 9 days to play around with in Rio. Does anybody know any places nearby (bus not plane distance) that would be worth seeing or staying in for a few days?

    You can go to Buzios, Angra dos Reis and Paraty, beautiful places not far from Rio, take a bus and you'll be there in couple of hours.

    You can get more info here - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g303488-State_of_Rio_de_Janeiro-Vacations.html

    Those places are very quiet compared to Rio, so if you aren't a fan of the frenzy madness of Rio, get a break and go to Angra..

    Enjoy, and don't forget your sunscreen!

    you could go to Ilha grande which is about 3 hours from Rio, from there its a hour or two to Paraty and then theres a place called trindade which is about 40 mins from Paraty its one of the coolest places I've ever been

    was just going to recommend exactly this..... ilha grande and trindade.... trindade is a hidden treasure, amazing beaches and laid back feel.... bus to paraty and then 40 mins to there... id skip paraty personally

    Thanks guys! Checked our itinerary for a tour we're doing after Rio and we'll be hitting Ilha Grande along the way. Just googled some pictures of trindade - SOLD! Looks amazing!

    Another recommendation for trindade. I took a day trip there from paratay, after 20 mins headed back, collected my bags and spent the next two weeks there.
