Itinerary

Following pickup from your hotel in Paraty, board a fully-outfitted Jeep with the tour guide for your 6-hour outdoor adventure. Bump down the rugged roads outside of Paraty, taking the scenic route through Serra da Bocaina (Bocaino Mountains National Park). Listen as your guide points out the local animal and plant life, including the jequitibá, one of the region's largest trees. 

Stop at the Gold Trail Exposition, along the Caminho do Ouro (the Gold Trail). Learn about the heyday of gold export in Brazil during the 18th century. 

At Tobago Falls, watch adventurous swimmers coast down a 60-ft (18-meter) rock slide into the water, then check out Tarzan Falls, whose deepest pools can be reached only by rope swing. 

Visit Engenho D'Ouro, a cachaça distillery that produces Brazil's favorite liquor from sugarcane. See how the clear spirit is aged in wooden casks and taste a few samples. Be sure to ask your guide for drink recipes. 

Get back in the Jeep and travel to Villa Verde, a local restaurant where you'll eat lunch (own expense). The onsite waterfall is a great place for a post-lunch swim.

Enjoy a glimpse into Brazilian farm life on your next stop, the Murycana Farm and cachaça distillery. Then check out the Bromeliad Exhibition to view its more than 300 species of plants.

After your adventurous day touring Paraty's surrounding area, return to your hotel for drop-off.

This was a great tour about 5 hours 4 waterfalls where you can swim plus a tour round a cachaça distillery. Great lunch at a very cheap price but the best part was the guide so friendly and excels in English . no hard hikes on this one and the last waterfall has a jungle bar where you can chill out if you don't want to swim. The weather did not play ball on the day I went but loved it anyway. If you get a perfect day it would be even more memorable

Excellent and necessary adventure for you, and Your family

Cassandra_T, Jun 2024
We had an amazing time on this adventure. Communication was clear, we met at the designated location and were easily signed in. We boarded a jeep and our guide was very talkative and explained our plans for the day. 30 minutes outside of the city, we walked a short distance to the first waterfall from there. We walked two more minutes to a second waterfall. There was an option to go on the water, although I did not enter the water. We then went to Cachaça Distillery and learned all about the process of Cachaça making. After that, we went to a restaurant that was nestled on a beautiful farm and hillside, and had a buffet lunch. After this, we walked to another waterfall where people had the option to slide down the waterfall. Then there was a walk to additional waterfall, at this point, I opted to hang out at the farm where I drank tea and chatted with some folks. The trip was accessible, fun and affordable, and I recommended to anyone who comes to town.
