Paraty was Brazil's gold port in the 1700s, then cachaça capital, then forgotten — then rediscovered. Today it's a living museum: whitewashed walls, blue-trimmed shutters, stone streets that flood with the tide, and a bay of 65 islands at the doorstep.
Town sands, hidden coves, and the natural pools.
Schooner, speedboat, or private — how to choose.
Forest pools and the Tobogã natural water slide.
The distilleries, tastings, and bottles to bring home.
Gold route, sugar, cachaça — three centuries in one walk.
Churches, the old docks, the fort, and the islands.
Bianca's short list of restaurants, botecos and kiosks.
FLIP, the Divino, cachaça, jazz and Carnival.
Trindade, Ilha Grande, the fjord and beyond.
Cantinho do Marinheiro is a short drive from the historic center, the main piers, and the best beach roads.
