The 'P' is Paraty stands for party! Im fact, this city forms the perfect juxtaposition where the historic side of the town fuses in really well with the cosmopolitan party flavour. Attracting quite a lot of tourists, the pristine beaches and historic town beckons one and all.

The best part of this coastal historic town is the absence of vehicles. Except for taxis, no other automobiles are allowed within the historic perimeters of Paraty. Spend a little te here and you'll see for yourself why the city is Brazil's exquisite gem.

Essential travel information and Paraty tips for your visit

• Exercise the regular amount of caution when you step out for the day.
• Since Paraty is primarily a tourist town, petty thefts are common; keep an eye on your belongings and don’t carry any excessive cash on you- just enough for the day.
• Mosquitoes are quite common here so come armed with mosquito repellent. Most hotel rooms will have mosquito nets, if they don’t, either ask for a net or a repellent.
• The sun comes down harsher on Paraty given its proximity to the tropics. Remember to stay hydrated and shade yourself from the sun.
