A Colonial Heritage Frozen in Time
Wandering through the cobbled streets of Paraty is like stepping into another era. Its beautifully preserved historic center is an open-air museum: whitewashed façades with colorful shutters, baroque churches, flower-covered balconies, and tranquil inner courtyards tell the story of a golden age when Paraty was a key port on the 18th-century Gold Trail.
A Natural Paradise Between Ocean and Rainforest
Surrounded by the Mata Atlântica, one of the most biodiverse rainforests in the world, Paraty is a playground for nature lovers. Hiking trails lead to hidden waterfalls, crystal-clear natural pools, and forest paths where toucans and monkeys still roam. Highlights include the waterfalls of Tobogã, Poço do Tarzan, and the stunning trails of the Serra da Bocaina National Park.
A Dreamlike Exploration by Sea
From Paraty’s charming harbor, embark on unforgettable boat trips to discover the surrounding archipelago, which includes over 60 islands and countless secret beaches, many of which are only accessible by sea. Whether aboard a traditional schooner, a private speedboat, or a luxury catamaran, every excursion offers a glimpse of tropical paradise: emerald waters, colorful marine life, and untouched bays await.
A Vibrant Cultural Scene
Paraty is also a cultural hotspot, brimming with creativity and artistic energy. Throughout the year, the town hosts a variety of festivals, the most famous being the FLIP – Festa Literária Internacional de Paraty, which attracts authors, intellectuals, and artists from around the world. Other events include music festivals, art shows, photography exhibitions, and culinary fairs, making Paraty a year-round destination for culture seekers.
