Experience the charm of one of South America’s most beautiful historic towns
Historic, colonial-style churches, a picturesque harbour with fishing boats and white yachts, quaint houses and tiny streets. There’s much to recommend Paraty, including the Pousada Literaria.
Walking around the streets of Paraty gives you the impression of a place untouched by time.
Indeed, the town was once an important port trading in gold and coffee, but it settled into genteel decline when the trade waned as other ‘routes to market’ became more profitable for exporters. The result is entirely satisfactory if you’re a visitor who wants to experience the atmosphere, architecture and history of a Brazilian town from a previous era.
Specify the Pousada Literária as part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Brazil, however, and you’ll discover that not everything in Paraty belongs to a bygone period. Inside, the hotel is distinctly modern and definitely stylish. Suites have vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and chic bathrooms – a pleasing contrast to the heritage of Paraty itself.
