Rua 5, no. 13, Portal de Parati Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 23970-000, 24-3371-6362
Got here 5hrs after leaving Rio, even though it was only supposd to take 3! Drove long the Costa Verde (green coast) with the beach & bay on one side & tropical rainforest on the other. Awesome! Roohi relieved and delighted to find an immaculate room at the Pousada after Rio. We highly recommend this place. Paraty (pronounced Parachee) has a historical town centre listed as a UNESCO heritage site with pedestrianised cobbled streets. Festival in town with lots of stalls, really lively ...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ashah_008 Paraty is a little charmer of a town where the natives have decided to abandon the alphabet and pronounce ´ty´as ´chi´ meaning it´s actually called ´Parachi´, we weren´t put off the place despite the grammatical error.
It´s just what our limited imaginations told us a South American town would look like; dusty pot holed roads lined with swarthy locals leaning in shop doors, oozing menace as they scan the streets for gringos to rob while a stray dog limps around looking for a place to d...
We´ve had a busy week since I last wrote so make a cup of tea and prepare for a long one. Okay so last time you left us in Paraty about to go on a couple of trips. The first one we took was to some waterfalls and a farm/distillery (there´s diversification for you Mitchells). It was quite enjoyable but trying to make a lot about nothing really. I did have a dip in the river beneath the waterfall and the water was just like home...freezing cold. The water in the sea, however, is gorgeous as I d...
Iguaçu, Brazil joyceanddaveWe arrived in Paraty last night and checked into our Pousada which is adorable! There is a lovely little pool and a relaxation area with books and games etc. I made friends with Fi Fi the cat who took a shining to me - I was rubbing her but next thing she tries to take a chunk off my finger - thank god I got my rabies jabs which were questionable! Ror had dissapeared to get the camera to take a pic of me and my new friend so I was willing him to come back and rescue me! I tried to take Fi Fi ...
Parati, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sharor Ola from Paraty - Day 2.
We are getting on just fine with our few words of Portuguese - Ola (hello - we all know that), Obrigado (thank you), De Nada (your welcome), Quando? (how much), choa (bye) and a little bit of sign lanuage gets you a long way let me tell you! The people we have met so far are so friendly and helpful - it makes it so much easier when you dont have the language.
I (sharon) woke this morning and I was aching from the cycling - seriously my bum and arms have ...

... INCH DEEP MAX water swept her flippies floppies from right under her feet! Katy expected them to come back with the tide but this was not the case. We now realised what all the boats were for...they weren´t fishing for fish, they were fishing for havianas and re-selling them on the mainland! The whole concept is genius really! They don´t teach you everything in Trinity!<br><br>Our second night on the island was a sensible affair, but i speak for myself on that one ...
Ilha Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sharkenj... him), but it was really nice to see where he is from. Ilha Grande is a relatively small mountainous island with 3 or 4 small towns or villages scattered around the coast, which is has over 100 beaches. The ferry from the mainland only goes to the town of Abraao, and in order to get to any other town you have to have your own boat or get on a boat from Abraao. This was the most touristy place we have seen by far and the main street (there were ...
Ilha Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil darrenkatie... de volgende foto ziet u een blonde knaap met een hip zwartduikmasker, tegen de zon in kijkend een mega zeester presenteren in de nieuwe kleuren van dit seizoen: oranje met rood. Nee, vloeken is er niet meer bij dit seizoen, alles kan. Om niet helemaal in de onzin te verzanden, zal ik maar verder gaan met het verhaal en nemen wij een sprong... 1-2-3 SPRING... naar vandaag, of gisteren eigenlijk wat nu is het al morgen in Nederland. Want ...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil heinlisenka... and I mean lashed - enough to cause the river to flood!! In the morning the water level was still really high, but at least the rapids that had been gushing through the town had stopped! Julia saw 2 boats being swept out to sea, and a man we spoke to the next day knew a man who had found his car in the morning...up a tree!! We had a random street party ...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil kathryn77... front. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere with just a dirt track feeding it from the main roadside some 4 miles of so away, so it seems you need to be in the know. In the afternoon we went inland to visit some waterfalls and a local distillery. The first waterfall had an 11 metre cliff drop off that you can jump from, it was door dropping and our young local guide who is with us for the day shows the way by heading up into ...
