Brazil Ports

[LIMPIT]

I am travelling on a MSC translantic cruise from Santos back to Southampton, with stops at the following ports in Brazil :

Santos

Rio

Salvador

Buzios

Ubatuaba

I have booked a private tour at Rio with Raffael Torres in Rio after reading great reviews on CC, but has anyone any tips/suggestions/must do`s for any of the other ports.

Many thanks.

Here is a link with comments and tips on the ports...http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1091325&highlight=buzios

 

Ubatuba- Our family has a beach house there. Lots of beaches. I´d recommend taken the Schooner Tour to the islands , which visits an old prison and the Itamar turtle project (double check about the turtle project , as it maight have changed). The area is very lush and green. The schooner trip is called "passeio de escuna".
