I love Parati. There are so many things to do there beyond the amazing historic village: farms, cascades, beaches, islands.

Beautiful scenery, lots of boats tied up and moored in the bay. Town is old and quaint with many photo opportunities. The walk on the stone roads to get to the bay can be a challenge. Sometimes the water levels are very high and floods the waterfront area. Not the best place for swimming, but great for a stroll on... More

Lovely scenery and warm waters The colonial town of PAraty had distinct colonial architecture and a step back intime!

I went to Sao Paulo coast last January, for me the most beautiful coast in South America. It´s a wonderful mixture of beaches, green water and rain forest. I started my trip in Sao Paulo airport, the cheapest way to fly from Argentina , a u$d 300 return ticket in Turkish Airlines. Flights arrive at 4.00 a.m. that is really... More

Once you take a boat out of the bay the water is amazing. 80deg and lots of fish. But beware!!! The boats are cheap (25 real) but they charge you as much as they can.... if you order anything you'll be charged 5 real service fee and food is ridiculously expensive .. 30 real for French fries.
