Trip to Paraty
Nestled on the border between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the quaint historic town of Paraty served as the main port during Brazil’s gold rush in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Its Portuguese colonial architecture now houses charming inns, hotels, gourmet restaurants, and the stunning Santa Rita de Cássia Chapel, a picturesque church built in 1722. While Paraty itself is reason enough to visit, the experience becomes extraordinary when you explore its surroundings by boat.

With dozens of islands, beaches, and coves, it’s also home to Latin America’s only fjord, Saco do Mamanguá—an unmissable nautical adventure!
