Get ready for a walk lasting about two hours, with around 7 important stops introducing the history of the town, the context of its buildings, the history of the churches and ateliers, and curiosities about local life. Begin the tour by awakening your vision through colours, from the preserved colonial architecture to the horizon, where your eyes meet the nuances and charming shapes of the mountains that embrace and surround this charming city. This region is marked by both natural beauty and beauty built by human hands, bodies, and minds from different regions of the world. Each of these influences has left marks and inheritances on the physical and cultural traits of what we now call the Brazilian people, reflecting all the plurality of being and belonging to a country whose borders extend across South America. In the search for this understanding, religiosity carries great weight in this country. At that moment, the drums awaken and sharpen the hearing, taking us beyond Catholicism, which has remained strong and present from the beginning of colonization to the present day. The religion of Candomblé also arrives and asks for passage, as do Umbanda and the different religions and rituals of indigenous and African origins. The whole history of Paraty is closely linked to the sugar cane cycle, and this land produces high-quality cachaças, alcoholic drinks made from sugar cane.
