General info: Set amid jutting peninsulas and secluded beaches, with a backdrop of steep, jungled mountains plunging
into an island-studded bay, Paraty is one of Brazil’s most appealing and exquisitely preserved historical gems.
Paraty’s colonial center is remarkable not only for its centuries-old architecture, but also for its lack of automobile traffic.
The irregular cobblestone streets are closed to motor vehicles, making it a delightful place to stroll about. Elegant white
buildings adorned with fanciful multihued borders and latticed windows blend harmoniously with the natural beauty that
envelops the town.
Dozens of pristine beaches are within a couple of hours of Paraty by boat or bus, while inland, the Parque Nacional da
Serra da Bocaina provides protection for a lush remnant of Mata Atlântica (Atlantic rainforest). The Brazilian government
has recognized Paraty as a National Historic Site since 1966.
