The surrounding islands, lagoons, and beaches are best explored on a boat tour offered by countless agencies. You will be on the tour for 5 hours and can swim, snorkel, or party. Our guitarist is in a good mood and fortunately very musical. The captain, as cool as the entire crew, steers with his feet, as hands are needed for the cellphone or to study the liquor bottle 🤣. We head to a small island that served as a supply station and trading post for the gold traders in the late 17th century, who became wealthy due to the gold discoveries in Minas Gerais at the time. This also explains the significance of the once wealthy city of Paraty, with its magnificent colonial buildings and churches. Travelers from Rio and traders who shipped the gold to Europe made a stop here. To complete our successful tour, a few dolphins swam by and the weather held up!
