A colonial gem on Brazil’s Costa Verde.

4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Paraty is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage site and a true gem on Brazil's Costa Verde, renowned for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture. Situated on a magnificent bay dotted with dozens of islands, the town is a masterpiece of 18th-century Portuguese design, with cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, and colorful doors and window frames. As a cruise destination, it is a tender port for smaller ships, offering a seamless entrance into a world of timeless beauty.
A cruise stop in Paraty offers a unique blend of history and nature. Visitors can spend the day wandering the car-free historic center, Browse art galleries and craft shops, or they can take to the water for a boat tour of the idyllic bay. The town's vibrant atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding rainforest and islands, makes Paraty an unforgettable destination.
The heart of Paraty is its historic center, with its charming cobblestone streets and well-preserved colonial buildings. The area is car-free, allowing you to walk at a leisurely pace, admiring the intricate architecture, visiting artisan shops, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
Tip: Wear comfortable, flat shoes as the cobblestone streets can be very uneven and slippery when wet.
One of the most popular activities is to take a boat tour of the stunning bay. Local tour boats, known as saveiros, take you on a scenic journey to explore secluded islands, pristine beaches, and natural swimming pools, offering a perfect day of sun and relaxation.
Tip: Look for a tour that includes stops for snorkeling and a freshly prepared lunch on board.
Paraty's historic center is home to several beautiful churches, each with its own story. The Church of Santa Rita, with its elegant Baroque facade, and the Church of Our Lady of the Remedies, located on the main square, are key landmarks that reflect the town's religious heritage.
Tip: The Church of Santa Rita now houses a museum of sacred art, offering a cultural glimpse into the past.
Paraty has long been a haven for artists and craftsmen. The historic center is filled with small galleries and unique shops selling everything from handmade jewelry and pottery to beautiful paintings. It's the perfect place to find a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home.
Tip: Look for local artists working in their studios, as many are happy to talk about their craft.
Paraty is a foodie's paradise, with a wide variety of restaurants serving local Brazilian cuisine, especially fresh seafood. The area is also famous for its cachaça, a sugar cane spirit. A visit to a local distillery or a tasting at a shop is a must-do experience.
Tip: Be sure to try a caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça, sugar, and lime.
For a change of pace from the town and the bay, consider a jeep tour into the surrounding Atlantic Forest. These tours often take you to local cachaça distilleries and to beautiful, refreshing waterfalls, such as the famous Tobogã Waterfall, where you can slide down a natural rock formation.
Tip: This excursion is a great way to see the lush inland landscape and cool off in the natural pools.
