Paraty, Brazil

Paraty preserves one of Brazil's finest colonial townscapes: whitewashed houses with painted doors line cobbled streets between the bay and the forested Serra da Bocaina. Listed by UNESCO together with Ilha Grande in 2019, it combines cachaça distilleries, waterfalls, schooner trips to islands and beaches, and FLIP, the international literary festival held every year.
