Quinta da Floresta - Bed and Breakfast na Mata Atlântica

Paraty is Brazil’s best kept secret and a destination not to be missed.
Nestled between the mountain forests and the island-studded coast, midway between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Quaint cobbled streets, colonial churches, a vibrant fishing community and excellent tourist infrastructure makes this an ideal destination for all.

The historic center offers a wide selection of excellent restaurants and bars, shops and sites of interest – all within some of the best maintained and important examples of 18th Century colonial architecture Brazil has to offer.

Paraty is most famous for its historical center. Considered by UNESCO as “the most harmonious colonial architectural group….” This is, doubtlessly, one of its great enchantments, but the area around Paraty hides an unmatchable natural beauty.

The Bocaina National Park lies just inland from the coast and is one of the best examples of Atlantic Rainforest in the world. Lush forested mountains sweeping down to the clear blue Atlantic Ocean in the bay of Ilha Grande.

Carnival is an important event Paraty – a unique experience and very different from the crowded chaos of Rio. No matter what time of year though Paraty is always hosting a festival or celebration of some kind. The friendly people of this vibrant town will welcome you into their traditions and lifestyle with open arms.

The bay around Paraty has some 65 islands and over 300 beaches to explore. Inland is the incredible Atlantic Rainforest, a rare habitat for many endangered species, giant butterflies and thousands of tropical birds, orchids and bromeliads.

Quinta de Floresta is located just seven kilometers from Paraty – a perfect place to be surrounded by nature and yet on the doorstep of one of Brazil’s top 10 destinations.
