Paraty in 3 Days: A Taste of History, Nature, and Adventure

Available for hire
Paraty is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in Brazil's stunning Costa Verde. This charming colonial town boasts cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and lush tropical surroundings - and it's my favorite town in Rio de Janeiro.
In the late 17th century, Paraty marked the endpoint of the Gold Route, through which gold was shipped to Europe. Its port was crucial for importing tools and African slaves for the mines. The town built a defense system to protect its wealth.
Today, Paraty's historic center preserves its 18th-century layout and colonial architecture, offering a glimpse into its rich past spanning the 18th and early 19th centuries.
With its rich history, vibrant culture, and picturesque coastline, Paraty offers visitors a unique blend of historical exploration, outdoor adventure, and relaxation by the sea.
Explore its well-preserved architecture, embark on boat tours to nearby islands, or simply unwind on its pristine beaches – Paraty promises a memorable experience for all.

Hi there! I'm Leidi, a Brazilian explorer with a passion for both sunshine and snowy escapes (yep, I'm a bit of a travel paradox!). Since 2019, I've been slow traveling the globe, soaking up the best of each destination. But my heart always holds a special place for two locations: my vibrant Brazilian homeland and the enchanting Emerald Isle, Ireland.
I specialize in crafting unique itineraries that blend outdoor adventures like hiking and walking with the ease of public transportation. This way, you get the best of both worlds, no matter your fitness level or travel style.
Looking for an adrenaline-pumping adventure? I've got you covered. Craving a tranquil escape in a charming village? Consider it done. My personalized itineraries are always tailor-made to your travel dreams and individual needs. Each moment is meticulously planned to spark discovery and ignite your spirit of adventure.
When you work with me, it's a collaborative adventure. We'll brainstorm together to turn your travel aspirations into reality, one personalized itinerary at a time. But I'm not just about tourist hotspots - I'm passionate about promoting village tourism. Let's explore hidden gems, experience local traditions, and support family-run businesses together!
