PARATI, BRAZIL
LAND OF RICH EXPERIENCES
Trapped in a 300-year time warp, the entirety of this former gold rush town has been named a national historic monument. Its delightful Portuguese colonial architecture remains undisturbed, and nothing spoils the mood, not even traffic, as no cars are allowed in the old town center. In the 17th century, it was one of the busiest and most important harbors on Brazil’s Atlantic coast, exporting gold from the interior. Follow the gold trail into the hinterlands, tour a sugar estate, or visit the Cachaça distillery, where they brew up the strong sugar cane liquor that is the key ingredient in the national cocktail: the Caipirinha.

CAPITAL OF SAILING
This beautiful island lives up to its name, and, today, belies its once lurid reputation as a hideout of smugglers and pirates. Where once failed coffee plantations replaced lush vegetation, the land has been reclaimed, and state park trails provide access to luscious green jungle, with numerous waterfalls where you can stop for a swim along the way. Divers will find great opportunities on some of the many shipwrecks off the coast.
