Parati cruise port guide
As one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the world, Parati, which means "white fish," is protected by UNESCO. The city exudes a magical and romantic ambience with its gas lights, well-preserved colonial houses, gardens and winding streets. Parati's history goes back to the early 1530s and is full of tales of pirates, gold, romance and mystery. As the second most important port in Brazil, Parati Harbor was built in the 17th and 18th centuries for the export of gold to Portugal, and as the center of southern Brazil's slave trade. The economy of Parati later turned to sugar cane with a multitude of mills that produced Brazil's high quality spirit known as "pinga" or cachaça.
About Parati
Paraty (also spelled Parati) is a beautifully preserved Portuguese colonial and Brazilian Imperial town on the Costa Verde of Rio de Janeiro state, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019 as part of 'Paraty and Ilha Grande.' Once a major gold export port serving the Minas Gerais mines, the town fell into isolation after a new road bypassed it — preserving its cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings intact for centuries.
The cobblestoned historic center fills with water at high tide — a remarkable spectacle. The nearby Bay of Ilha Grande offers boat trips to idyllic tropical islands. The Gold Trail (Caminho do Ouro) offers hiking through Atlantic Forest on cobblestone paths built by enslaved workers in the 18th century. Paraty's artisan cachaça distilleries — Parati holds a Protected Indication of Provenance for its spirit — offer tastings and tours.
