Colonial charm

by toonsarah - last update: Jan 24, 2008

Parati from the water-front
About a four hour drive south of Rio is the pretty colonial town of Parati (also sometimes spelt Paraty, and pronounced Par-a-CHEE). With its colourfully painted houses and some charming hotels and restaurants, it is well worth a few days visit if you can fit it into your itinerary.

We stayed just two nights, which was enough to give us a flavour of the town and to see a different side to this vast country, though longer would have enabled us to explore the surrounding countryside a little too.

 loved the page, even if the town sounds like a type of indian bread.

 I too like the gold and blue painted doors and the lovely church. Also thanks Sarah for visiting my Speyer pages.

 A small yet powerful page about Parati. Love the windows and doors. The hotel looks good but seems so expensive. Food sounds wonderful.
