Review & FAQ:
The small port town of Paraty has an illustrious history as a major port during the Brazilian Gold Rush of the 17th and 18th centuries. Located on the Costa Verde, about halfway between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Paraty is a beach town with a historic center that features cobbled streets and stunning colonial architecture. Visitors can enjoy a refreshing caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil, hear some traditional music, or even catch a demonstration of capoeira. There are no cars allowed on the cobblestone streets of the town center, so a stroll through the shops, restaurants, and other buildings of this peaceful town feels like a trip back in time.
