Paraty Holidays

The pretty little town of Paraty, on Brazi's Costa Verde, is picturesque beyond words. Oozing colonial charm by the bucket load you'll discover cobbled streets, multi-hued doorways and a handful of quaint artisanal galleries to boot. Its boat-strewn harbour harks back to when the Portuguese exported gold from Brazil’s countryside mines and today it remains as picture-perfect as ever against a backdrop of verdant mountains. Paraty holidays come in all forms. Stay in a white-washed pousada (inn) in the historical centre or steal away into the tropical forest for winding trails complete with staggering ocean views. Immerse yourself in the town's history and culture while exploring 18th century churches and ducking into local culinary enclaves or take to the island-studded bay where you’ll find a cluster of secluded beaches, ideal for refreshing dips and picnic lunches.
