Paraty

It's been a while since I've updated on the Brazil trip.  I've been busy packing up in BR and traveling back to TN for the summer.

Next stop, Paraty.

Paraty was about a 4 hour bus ride down the coast line from Rio.  It is a popular vacation spot for the people of Rio.  Paraty was founded as a port city, mainly for gold, in the 1600's and most of the architecture is still the same.  All the streets in the historic center are car free and made from cobblestone.  It is an incredibly beautiful, quaint little town situated between untouched rain forests and the ocean.  If I went to Brazil again, Paraty would definitely be a part of the trip.
