Run to the sun: 10 toasty winter escapes
Best for liveliness: Buzios, Brazil
1 of 10
Average hours of daily sun: eight
Go to Brazil before peak season and you will find the same azure skies but without the fight for a room that comes in the-run up to carnival season from December to February. The city of Buzios is one of the country’s little known destinations, despite 321 days of sun. A three hour trip from Rio de Janeiro, the sunny getaway is renowned as the St Tropez of the country - without the millionaire price tag. Brigitte Bardot chose it as her favourite holiday retreat in the 1960s and people in the know have kept coming ever since. The city’s peninsula setting includes 23 beaches within an hour's walk of each other, each with a different theme. The result is a peaceful retreat from hectic Rio but with a fiesta on the bustling main street, Rua das Pedras, most evenings.
Find Rio de Janeiro flights and accommodation with ebookers. In Buzios rooms at Casas Brancas cost from £45 a night.

Most of this is true. The sunshine in Colombia is pretty much all-year-round on the Caribbean coast and Parque Tayrona is fantastic but I wouldn't suggest November it's by far the wettest month of the year. Better to go in early December when the rainy season ends and the local holiday season hasn't quite kicked in.
Also since when did the furnished huts in Parque Tayrona cost £22.00 a night? They haven't been that cheap for 15 years. Not sure who you've got writing this stuff but if you want to hear from the experts contact us at info@ticartagena.com.
If you want to spot some really amazing places by the beach then check out Cartagena's Playa Blanca.
