Paraty
A colonial port town with cobblestones so uneven the tide still floods them at the full moon, rainforest-covered mountains dropping straight into a bay full of tiny islands, and cachaca distilleries that have been perfecting the pour since the 1600s.
The best time to visit Paraty is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F). Local time there is 17:23 (UTC-3).
