Paraty

In early April, we spent 48 delightful hours in Paraty. We went to photograph another Ad Astra collection along the cobblestone streets and colorful houses of the historic center and spent a wonderful day on the Costa Verde aboard the Sem Pressa, the most charming boat in Paraty, with nautical catering by Gastromar, skippered by the lovely Gisela Schmitt.

We invited Gisela to write this guide to Paraty, after all, there is no one better than her to talk about the most charming city in Brazil, which she chose to call her own more than 10 years ago.

Gisela is one of the people who best represents Paraty, helping to foster the local economy and small businesses, one of the most admirable women we have ever met.

Paraty: 2 nights

The Arrival

We went to Paraty by car from São Paulo, it's approximately a 4-hour drive. We stayed at the Casa Simone guesthouse and really enjoyed the experience. The guesthouse is super charming, the room is great and the staff is attentive.
