As part of our 3-night stay in Paraty, I had decided to book us the top 3 attractions according to our good friends at TripAdvisor. This trek lived up to its status and reviews. I had emailed with Michael Smyth, partner/owner of Paraty Explorer, before leaving the U.S. to arrange the date of the hike, appropriate footwear, lunch options, and... More

The walk starts off with a very steep climb but don´t be disheartened, it is all worth it. As you finish the first leg you drop down onto a pristeen beach, remove your shoes and wade out into the clear waters to get a boat to the other side - it was picture card perfect.

We were even able to enjoy an impromptu and tasty squid dinner with a local... More

If you want a bit more of an energetic way of seeing some of the area around Paraty and also like to get away from the crowds, this is hike is great fun and well worth the steep climb to the peak. In fact the whole day was a great way to see some secluded homesteads, visit some quiet beaches... More
