    They picked me up at my hostel, right on time on a comfortable bus, after picking up some other passengers, the driver handed out our ferry tickets. When we arrived at the ferry terminal a crew member was welcoming us, and give some advise about shops, atms and pharmacy, that we could visit during the waiting time for the ferry, the check in process to the ferry was smooth and so was the crossing. A perfect, easy and professional way between Paraty and Ilha Grande, highly recommended!

Paraty Tours & Activities | Top Things to Do in Brazil

Paraty is a charming coastal town nestled between lush Atlantic forests and the sparkling sea of southeastern Brazil. Known for its cobbled streets, vibrant colonial buildings, and striking natural scenery, this destination is a favorite for travelers seeking culture, adventure, and relaxation all in one place. The town's tranquil atmosphere and picturesque setting make it an ideal retreat whether you're exploring historical landmarks or lounging on pristine beaches.

A Glimpse into the Past

This town boasts a fascinating history dating back to the 17th century. Once a bustling port for gold shipments heading to Europe, Paraty preserved its colonial architecture through the centuries, giving visitors the chance to step back in time. Its rich heritage is visible everywhere, from old churches to traditional homes lining the streets.

When to Go

Paraty welcomes visitors year-round, but the dry season from May to September is most popular. During these months, the weather is pleasant, making it perfect for walking tours, boat trips, and outdoor adventures. The rainy season, from December to March, brings lush vegetation and fewer crowds, although there may be more afternoon showers.
