I spent 4 days with Cecilia and my parents in the beatiful colonial town of Paraty, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro's state. Its cobblestone streets are incredibles even if with rain can be a bit difficult to walk.

If you like you can take a carriage with a horse to have a nice trip around the town. There are few colonial churches to visit, a lot of nice restaurants to eat and amazing shops.

Behind the city there is the forest and in front of it the sea. Amazing!.

When the night falls, Paraty will conquest you with all its charm!

Higly recommended.
