The best shopping in Paraty isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios and Cachaça distillery tours are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Praia do Sono — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Paraty is a perfectly preserved colonial port town on Brazil's Green Coast, where car-free cobblestoned streets, whitewashed churches, and a tropical bay create one of the most enchanting walking experiences in South America.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Paraty. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios — a simple whitewashed 18th-century church facing the harbor, the town's main landmark, built by the Portuguese elite with Masonic symbols in the design, Cachaça distillery tours — visits to small-batch artisanal cachaça distilleries in the Atlantic Forest hills, sampling Brazil's national spirit aged in native wood barrels, plus hidden gems like Praia do Sono — a remote beach accessible by a beautiful 1.5-hour hiking trail through the Atlantic Forest from Laranjeiras and Alambique distilleries — rural cachaça producers in the hills around Paraty offering tastings and tours of the traditional distillation process.
Use this page as a starting point for a Paraty walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Paraty. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Paraty for colonial architecture and beaches, but every walking route ends up passing through Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios and Cachaça distillery tours and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Praia do Sono — it reflects what the people of Paraty actually buy, make, and value.
Paraty's cobblestones are extremely uneven and flood at high tide — wear sturdy sandals or shoes and expect wet feet. The flooding is part of the town's charm and helps keep the streets clean.
April through June and August through October offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. July brings FLIP, and summer (December through February) is the busiest beach season.
