Parati

Overview

Beautiful colonial town, located 125 miles southeast of Rio de Janeiro, considered a National Historical Monument (Unesco), it preserves until today its countless natural and architectural charms. Explore on foot the historical Center of Paraty, free of cars, and you will travel back in time, where walking has to be done in a leisurely pace due to the irregular rounded cobblestone pavement of its streets.The construction of its old housing and churches reflect a certain style of that time and the mysterious masonry symbols which decorate its walls, lead our imagination back to the old times of Brazil. The prohibition of motorized vehicles in the Center certainly adds to this feeling of a "time travel".
