Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

April 1, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Named for a local swamp fish, Paraty sits on Brazil's southeastern coast, 125 miles south of Rio, with the Bocaino Mountains at its back. The small colonial town's center is a national historic monument with well-preserved buildings on its pedestrian-only streets. Take a boat trip out into the bay to the flotillas of islands and coves nearby. Explore sugarcane plantations and hike or take a train through Atlantica Forest. Keep an eye out for the monkeys that roam the cobblestone streets.

Saco do Mamangua Beach

Reviewed By NewWorldSurfer - San Francisco, United States

Like most special places in the World, you pay dues to get there. If it is too easy it is ruined by overcrowding and inconsiderate people. The big issue here is the last 5 kilometers of the "road" to Paraty Mirim. Heavily washboarded and lots of mud. We made it in a rental car but if was rainy would be very easy to get stuck in the shin deep mud. 4X4 better, with higher ground clearance but lots do it in regular cars. Parking 20R for the day. The boatman would not go lower than 250R return despite dozens of boats and not so many customers. We are FIT travellers and refuse to go on tours with groups. This was true even before the Wuhan plague but all the more critical now. We did see the small bus so you can do it the cheap way for less than the cost of parking. The main beach was soso and crowded. You must hire boat to get to the world class beaches in the Saco (fjord) of Mamangua itself. The drive first suggested taking us to a beach with a restaurant which we declined. We bring our own cooler with food and deinks and asked for the best beach (which means undeveloped). Euginho Beach did not disappoint. Freshwater stream emerging from pile of rounbded rocks which meets the sea and very pristine sand , HUGE shade tree and restroom are only "facilities". and reef.

Muito obrigado Waldir! Enjoyed this very personalized tasting experience. Loved the 4 year old cachaca. Other unique flavors also! Great thing to do before or after the waterfall :)

Paraty Bay

Reviewed By Paulschimel

We had excellent tour to Paraty from Rio. Our tour guide/driver was Newton from C2Rio. The scenery on the drive is beautiful and Newton’s descriptions of the places and history were excellent. This is a great way to see the historical city of Paraty and area around Rio. This is a full day trip. Allow 5 hours travel each way and 4-5 hours in Paraty or stay in one of many available hotels.

Cachoeira do Toboga

Reviewed By E8026HSrobertj - London, United Kingdom

We went on the waterfall/jungle tour with Jango Tours and the Toboga was one of our stops on the day. The surfers at this spot are insane, blindfolding themselves with leaves while flipping and sliding down the rocks on their feet! It is an amazing natural formation that is loads of fun to slide down a few times into the natural, cool pool. Don't miss the chance to do this if you're in the area.
