Get to know Paraty with Viator

A step onto Paraty’s charming, cobblestone streets is a step back in time. Colorful, colonial-era houses are set against a backdrop of mountains and protected forests—the untouched environment a further delightful anachronism. Don’t be fooled by its peaceful exterior, however. Paraty is famous for its cachaça production, the base spirit for the Brazilian caipirinha cocktail, and there are plenty of places here to drink it and pick up a bottle.
