Paraty, one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the world breathes an extremely romantic
and magical atmosphere. Protected by the Unesco, it is considered as the most architectonic
gathering of Brazil; gas lights, well preserved colonial houses, winding streets, gardens,
backyards and flowery balconies are all of them a permanent invitation to dream.
Its native name "Parati-i" means White Fish. Its history begins in the early 1530s and is
full of tales about gold, pirates, love and mystery.
Paraty harbour, the second most important harbour in Brazil during the 17th and 18th centuries was
built exclusively to export gold from Minas Gerais to Portugal and was the centre of slave
trade in Southern Brazil. By the end of the "Gold Era", Paraty turned to the Sugar Cane Culture,
and nowadays almost 250 mills produce top class quality "pinga", Brazilian's most popular
spirit, like it used to be made in the good old days.
We propose a 4 days/3 nights stay with lodging in one of the marvellous 3* colonial houses
located inside the historic centre. Many of those houses were built by wealthy traders
and farmers 3 centuries ago and were converted into hotels after refurbishment.
During the day you can participate in any of the excursion below or just wander by yourselves through
the old streets.
