            |   Location | 
 | 
    
      | LATIN 2008 took place in Búzios, at the Hotel Atlantico Búzios. 
  The hotel is set in front of a beautiful bay called 
  Armação dos Búzios.  Located in a peninsula 180km Northeast of Rio de Janeiro, Búzios is a
  charming old fisherman city. Today Búzios is an international touristic
  spot. The beauty of the 26 surrounding beaches, the typical and international
  restaurants, the famous boutiques, the shows, its daring architecture with old
  clay roof tiles and rustic wood, its famous Rua das Pedras, the sea with its
  Olympic wind where Brazilian champions practice, its arid nature, reminiscent
  of the Atlantic Forest... Everything makes of Búzios a special place.
