Paraty trip planner

Gazing out over a bay of tiny tropical islands, with rainforests climbing mountains in the background, it's easy to see why tourism in Paraty gets more popular by the year. Nestled among that memorable scenery, the town of around 36,000 people displays some of Brazil's best-preserved colonial architecture, whose colorful wooden doorframes enliven distinctive white facades. The cobbled streets of Paraty's old town remain in top shape, thanks in part to the decision to ban traffic from the historical center. Easy access to some of Brazil's best beaches adds another layer of appeal to the heritage-protected town.
