Paraty

The Historic City of Paraty is one of the most enchanting scenery of the State of Rio. Listed as a National Historic Landmark, the small town from the south coast has been declared World Heritage by UNESCO. The site emerged in the XVIIIth century, as the main port to drain the gold brought from Minas Gerais State.

Squeezed between the sea and mountains, the former "Town of Our Lady of Remedies Paraty" is certainly one of the most incredible places on the Brazilian coast.

Huge mansions of the Brazil Empire era and narrow streets paved by the slaves with irregular stones - known as "pé-de-moleque" (peanut brittle) decorates the city and invites to a trip back on time.

Paraty (Parati) Historic Center consists of preserved colonial mansions and churches of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries where automobile traffic is prohibited.

While circulating through the alleys of the historic center, tourists have a pleasant surprise. Charming inns, lively bars and restaurants run by celebrity chefs combine the tradition of what is best in terms of tourism.

Paraty does not live only in history: it hosts both the FLIP - Paraty International Literary Festival as well as the Festival da Pinga (informal name for "cachaça", a sugar cane distiled spirit) most known events in the city.

The charming "Vila de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios de Paraty" is located in a bay with clear blue water beaches - some even without urbanization - and fishing villages.

For the more adventurous there are boat trips and great places for diving at nearby islands.

On the road Paraty-Cunha there are swimming pools formed by beautiful waterfalls, such as Pedra Branca and Tobogã.
