Brazil · HIKING IN PARATY
Good hikes in Paraty fill up weeks out and the best go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes, and where they genuinely differ.
Paraty Gold Trail cultural hike in Brazil with a small group, Atlantic rainforest nature, Cachoeira de Tobogão, and Engenho do D'Ouro.
“Excellent city tour. The guide was very friendly. We walked through the historic center and he brought very interesting information. Good and cheap ride. Note: My mom can't go, and they made the refund on time, no problems.Auto-translated”
6-hour hike from Paraty to Trindade, four beaches and Atlantic Forest, then snorkel Caixa d’Aço natural pool, plus beach time.
“We had nine people on the tour - nice and manageable. The first short trek was quite steep but the views were great! The big boulders were remarkable. The trek to the “pool” was very challenging but for a little more money (25brl), you can take a quick boat ride to the pool. Lunch on the beach was excellent but enough to feed a family of four (we were just two). We would have liked to have had more time in Paraty but had to rush to return to our cruise tender.”
Hike Paraty’s Gold Trail in the Atlantic Forest, learn how gold shaped Brazil, ride a regular bus, and finish with an optional waterfall.
“Loved the guide’s local knowledge & it was great to learn about the rainforest trees & plants”
