Parati Travel Forum

We shall arrive by ship in Santos. Now I am looking for a bus-connection from Santos to Paraty on the seashore road. So far I could not find anything. Is Santos worth to spend a night there?

I found the web site for Reunidas (www.reunidaspaulista.com.br if anyone needs it, however it is in Portuguese. Can anyone direct me to an English site or a phone number for English? Thanks so much,

What is the best way to travel from Paraty to Ilha Grande?

from the limited ferry schedule it looks like one early morning ferry from Angra therefore probably bus ? to Angra in the evening, stay overnight and early morning ferry.

any thoughts?

You mentioned you got a minibus transfer from Rio to Praty. I plan on honeymooning there in December and we leave Rio fro PAraty on Dec 24th. What is the name of the company you got your transfer with, was it private, how much did it cost and did they bring you back to Rio on a return visit. Thanks Cliona

We vacation every year during spring break with our two young daughters. Is spring break a bad time to visit Parati (weather and etc...)? Our spring break will be March 28th through April 6th.

Hello,

I will be in Parati for a few days around the start of June and would love to see the Brazil vs England friendly on Friday June 1st. I arrive the night before so won't have time to explore.

Can anyone please help me with the names of any bars or restaurants that may show the match.

I will buy you a couple of beers if you can help.

Many regards

We are planning on going from Parati in the morning a Sunday in April to Sao Paolo Guarulhos to catch a flight at 8.30pm.
Is this possible?? Which bus company will run this? And when will it leave Parati?? Do we have to go into Sao Paolo and change to an airport bus??

I am flying out of Sao Paulo (GRU) on Sunday 24th Dec in the evening. Does anyone know if it will be possible to leave Parati that morning in time to get to the airport. Know the bus journey takes approx 5hrs to the bus terminal and how long to the airport, 40mins? But do these buses run on a sunday? And the day before christmas??? Help please!! Many thanks

I am flying into Sao Paulo and would really like some info. on where to catch 'the' bus that will tlake me to Paraty, and how much will it cost? Can I catch it right at Guarulh Airport in Sao Paulo, or do I need to get to a bus depot? I realize the trip is about 5 hours, I feel it may be a nice intro. to Brazil. Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,

I know this is an unusual request...

I was in Parati with my girlfriend last year, and we came across a street stall selling really nice hand-painted bead jewellery. I can't remember exactly where the stall was, but it was somewhere near Praca da Matriz. I don't think it would be too hard to come across just wandering around.

Anyway, my girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I'd really like to give her one of the necklaces that were being sold at this street stall. The necklaces are just strings of differently-coloured, brightly-painted beads with flowers, etc painted on the beads. They're really cheap, but really nice and it's more for the sentimental value than anything. Is there any chance someone in Parati would be willing to buy one of these necklaces for me? Of course, if you agree, I will post you the money first. I would be forever in your debt!

If someone thinks they might be able to help me out, please get in contact and we can sort out the details.

Thanks a million!!

Hi - my husband and I will be traveling to Parati in March, and we are looking for a romantic, luxury get-away for our stay. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks.

Hello, I've booked a holiday to Brazil in November, flying to Rio and also visiting the Iguassu Falls. We're then hiring a car and driving to Parati for 6 days. I already heard that the best beaches are reachable by either boat or car? Can someone eloborate on this please? And also what else is recommended to do. We're not just beach bums - we do like a bit of culture and history as well! :o)
cheers,

We are planning a trip to Rio at the end of September - after that we could either spend 4 days in Parati or Buzios. Although we like cultural villages we are concerned that 4 days is too much for Parati and that we should rather look at Buzios. Or maybe we should spend an extra day in Rio and 3 days in Parati. Can anyone assist? thanks

Hi All
Wanting to hire a car from Copacabana, Rio to Parati. Has anyone done this? Do you prices, length of drive (I heard about 4 hours) and whether it was a good drive?
Also, looking to stay at Pousada do Ouro for 1 night then drive back to Rio. Has anyone stayed here? Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Does anyone know if there are local buses running from Parati to Guaratinguetį? If not, what is the best way to get there and what would it cost? I need to get there on Wednesday morning (April 6th)...

We are travelling to Brazil in November for three weeks for our honeymoon. We are planning to spend some time in Rio, Buzios, Ignazsu and now I'm also thinking about Parati. How long is the road transfer time from Rio to Parati?

Planning a trip to Parati next January. Has anyone stayed at this Hotel ? Will be spending 7 days in Parati. Is hotel reservations necessary during this time period ?

I am planning on going a week to parati during our trip to Brazil with our two kids of 12 months and 3 year. If we would stay in the historical centre, how difficult is it to get around and go to the beaches?

Hi,
We are deciding between 2 hotels in parati for our honeymoon and are wondering if anyone has stayed at either The Pousada Do Ouro or The Pousada Arte Urquijo? What did you think? Thank you.

Hi. Does anybody have advice on the fastest way to parati from Sao Paulo. We are arriving there in Sept. and were thinking about renting a car to drive to Parati. How rough are the roads? Is it dangerous? We are afraid the bus would take too long and may want to tour around a bit on the way. We dont speak much portuguese. Thanks.

Does anyone have info on this event? I would like to attend this festival, especially the opening party on Monday, June 30th.

Thanks for your help!
