Frequently Asked Questions
The ship anchors offshore in a bay dotted with wooded islets, and passengers reach the pier by tender. No berth takes large ships here, so landings are always by boat.
Yes, and only on foot. The streets are paved with huge irregular stones laid in the eighteenth century, which defeat any wheel. Bring sturdy shoes: walking takes some attention.
Because the builders deliberately sloped them toward the sea. At spring tides, water comes up certain lanes, washes the cobbles and then retreats. The effect is part of the charm, but it can complicate getting around at some hours.
The historic centre takes two or three hours on foot, among the four colonial churches, galleries and ceramic studios. A schooner trip to the islets fills the rest of the day for those with time.
It was inscribed on the World Heritage list in 2019, together with the surrounding waters and forests, as one of Brazil's best-preserved colonial ensembles. The end of the gold cycle left it dormant for generations, and that neglect is exactly what spared its lanes from modernization.
The paved road that carried gold from Minas Gerais down to ships bound for Lisbon, and which gave Paraty its grid plan and its substantial houses. Sections of the old road, carpeted in mossy stone, can still be walked in the forest above town.
Yes. From the pier, wooden schooners run trips to the bay's beaches and islets: within a few hours you anchor in calm coves and swim over clear bottoms.
The Defensor Perpétuo fort, set on a point north of the centre and reached by following the shoreline. From there a single view takes in the rooftops, the bay and the Costa Verde mountains.
Cachaça. In colonial times the town's name was used across Brazil for the spirit itself, such was the reputation of its stills. A few family distilleries keep the craft alive, and shops in the centre line up bottles beside banana preserves and cane sugar.
Yes, with one caveat: the uneven cobbles make walking tiring for toddlers and impossible with a stroller. Older children enjoy the schooner outing and swimming in the coves.
