Pousada Vistamar

Paraty is a model for the successful preservation of historical and cultural heritage as well as of beautiful natural habitat. Though the bay of Paraty is one of the most beautiful locations along the coast of Brazil, it has not been discovered by mass tourism.

Protected as ”National Cultural Monument”, Paraty maintains its traditional architecture in the colonial style. The cobble-stone town center is a traffic-free pedestrian zone, inviting the visitor to discover numerous churches, colonial-style houses, shops, ateliers and restaurants offering national as well as international cuisine. This is also where the popular traditional festivities take place.

The tropical nature around Paraty invites the wary traveler to relax. The exceptional and privileged location of this picturesque sea resort, set between mountains and a protected ocean bay with numerous small islands, ensures premium conditions for a variety of activities. The Atlantic rainforest covering the surrounding mountains hides many treasures of the Brazilian vegetation and wildlife as well as numerous waterfalls and natural springs.

The calm and clear water of the bay of Paraty is ideal for boat trips and for water sports such as sailing, diving etc.

The Beach of Jabaquara

The beach of Jabaquara is close to the historical town center. This is a calm, gently sloped sand beach, which borders on the river Jabaquara on one side and on a fango swamp on the other.

Fascinating for the attentive observer is how the colors of this amazing environment change over the course of a day. Seagulls, fishing birds and many other flocks are abundant. Small fisher boats cast their nets.

Famous for its beneficial fango baths, the beach of Jabaquara also offers a variety of other opportunities for activities as well as relaxation, such as e.g. strolls on the beach, kayak trips, etc. Diverse bars offer regional specialties and beverages.
