No visit to Paraty is complete without an exploration of the city’s colonial center. There are many charming corners and buildings to see, although most of the churches, unexplainably, remain closed. Our favorite spots are the Matriz Square and the old houses close to the Santa Rita church.

Paraty is home to historic gold mines, thick jungles, beautiful churches and plenty of colonial architecture. But it’s the untouched islands and pristine beaches lined with white sandy shores and crystal clear waters that make this town on the Bay of Ilha Grande a destination paradise.

The 'Golden Trail'  is a charming script full of history, nestled in the Atlantic Forest, with stunning waterfalls, transparent waters and natural pools surrounded by rocks. Revitalize with refreshing swims and the pleasure of witnessing the splendor of nature at its purest form.

We at Sereia do Mar organize regular boat parties, barbecues, bonfires on the beach and other group activities that combine fun with ´off the beaten track´ experiences. Our reception desk can also assist you with day trips, bookings or transport to and from the maior cities.
