Exploring Paraty on foot will often lead you through its historic center, an area that can be comfortably strolled in about an hour. However, with the allure of charming coffee shops and restaurants along the way, you might find yourself taking your time. Many walking routes in Paraty also offer the chance to discover picturesque shores, beaches, and access to the bay's islets.
If you're eager to explore not only Paraty but its surrounding areas, don't miss the Serra da Bocaina Natural Park. It's a vast expanse, and you'll likely need a car to get there. Once there, make sure to visit the Veado waterfall (Cachoeira do Veado). This stunning waterfall descends from a height of 20 meters and features a refreshing natural pool where you can take a swim.
