Overview

Embark on a journey through the historical town of Paraty. Famous for the Gold Path connecting Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during the Gold Cycle, Paraty has kept its historical buildings almost intact. It feels like we are back to the Colonial Times in Brazil.
Starting with hotel pickup, we take the Green Coast path to Paraty. Beautiful green landscapes prepare you for the city ahead. Take this opportunity to plan the itinerary with the tour guide. It is a private tour, so you may choose what to do in Paraty. You can visit a distillery to see how they produce the cachaça - our national liquor -, you can swim at the waterfalls, you can lay down on the beach, you can visit the historical landmarks or you can do some shopping in town. It is really up to you! After you have enjoyed this tailor-made tour, we hit the road back to Rio.
