Parati on a budget 4 stars
Travel Tip: Parati

Colonial Parati 5 stars
Parati Chapter of Travel Blog: In search of sun, sea and samba

I had heard great things about the colonial town of Parati, further down the coast from Ilha Grande, and it made sense to visit here while we were already halfway there. It was an easy trip on local buses (around an hour and a half) from Angra do Reis, and well worth the trip. We had no... [more]
