Paraty itself isn't overly interesting other than the stark white walls of the buildings in the heart of the town. The owners of the various shops & restaurants have to maintain white wash walls as part of council by-laws.Paraty's attraction is the beach & surrounds where the Atlantic meets the jungle. There are lots of similar towns all the way along the coast from Sao Paulo to Rio (and probably beyond).
Pictured is the Paraty harbour where a flotilla of colourful timber boats take people to wherever takes their fancy, be it an isolated beach, an island or just out in the ocean.
