Q: Is the historic center of Paraty walkable, and what should I wear?

Yes, but the cobblestone streets are uneven. Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals with good grip to avoid tripping.

Most tours depart from the main pier or nearby beaches. You can book schooners or private speedboats directly in the historic center.

Guided Jeep tours or 4x4 excursions are best for reaching remote waterfalls and trails in the Serra da Bocaina National Park.

Q: Are there ATMs in the historic center, and is cash necessary?

ATMs are available, but many small vendors and boat captains prefer cash. Always carry Reais for local markets and tips.

Q: Can I visit Paraty as a day trip from Rio de Janeiro?
