This gives you the rest of the day to walk around town, check out the local shops and restaurants, or just get your bearings in this historic colonial area.

    · November 4th, 2019
    This tour is perfect for anyone who likes independent travel. All of our transportation, accommodation and airport pickup was organized, on time and taken care of. We had a boat and jungle-jeep tour in Paraty, both were great. Ilha Grande was probably the highlight of the trip, beaches galore. Local 55 was always available via WhatsApp message if you need anything. I would recommend them to anyone who wants an independent tour. No guide is included on this tour, just your transportation, excursions and accommodation.
