About Paraty Brazil:

​A town of about 30,000 on Brazil's Costa Verde ("green coast"), Paraty sits about halfway between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.  To get there, we will travel by bus from Sao Paulo, which takes about four hours along a beautiful drive:

The Costa Verde is Brazil's Green Coast and is perhaps the most spectacular stretch of coastline in the country. Mountains covered in Atlantic Rainforest drop directly into the sea, with paradise beaches, hidden coves, waterfalls and tropical islands galore.

Brief History of Paraty:

• The 17th century city fell into decline but was rediscovered by artists and creative entrepreneurs about a decade ago.  Since then, it's become a leader in sustainable tourism development, and has been short-listed for UNESCO World Heritage recognition, not just for its beautiful historical Portuguese colonial architecture, but also because of its extreme natural beauty of white sand beaches, turquoise bay with seemingly endless islands, all surrounded by mountains of lush green rain forest.
