The colonial city of Paraty
half way between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo is the
perfect spot for a romantic holiday including
endless beaches, tropical islands and little boat
trips.
The 30,000 inhabitant city with
its small city centre full of cobblestones is very
quite and so an ideal place for taking a peaceful
rest and forgetting everything else.
Best
places to go in & around Paraty
The city cenre consists of small
cobblestoned streets with very nice little
restaurants and cafés at its sides. It is
definitely a good spot to go out and have a romantic
diner or just to chill out.
For chruch fans there are several
nice baroque churches in Paraty. Capela de
Santa Rita (Chapel
of Saint Rita),
Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito
(Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint
Benedict),
Capela de Nossa Senhora das Dores (Chapel of Our
Lady of Sorrows) and
Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora do Remédios (First
Church of Our Lady of the Remedies). The Capela de
Nossa Senhora das Dores also looks good tonight as
you can see here.
A must do is a trip by boat to the islands in
front of Paraty. Trips go out several times a day
from Paraty on smaller ships. The boats slide
smoothly through the turquoise water and stop
in front of the islands, so you
can explore the islands and have a nice laydown at
the gorgeous beaches.
Best time
to visit Paraty
The best time to make a trip to
Paraty is definitely the Brazilian summer time from
October to March. The actual summer months
from December to February can be very hot though
with temperatures up to almost 40°C. The breeze on
the beach or the one on the boats usually make it
quite comfortable though. February is also the most
rainy month of the year. Showers in the afternoon
are very common then.
Enjoy Paraty.
