 "Yes, it is possible to be a scruffy backpacker and stay cheaply in Búzios, although it’s a bit of a walk to the beach." 
 "This place has dorms in 4- to 15-bed configurations, plus private rooms from April to mid-December. It’s a 15-minute walk from Rua das Pedras, or five from the main bus stop."
