Paraty

Most travelers reach Paraty by flying into Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, then continuing by road along the BR-101 coastal highway.

• From Rio de Janeiro (GIG or SDU), expect a scenic drive of roughly 250 km to Paraty, or use intercity buses that run the Rio to Paraty corridor.
• From Sao Paulo (GRU or CGH), plan on roughly 275 km by road, typically via the coast or a mixed inland-plus-coast route.
• Paraty has small airfields for private aviation, but there are no reliable scheduled commercial flights into town.

If you are driving, build buffer time for holiday traffic and rain.

Paraty is easy to navigate once you arrive, but your best transport plan depends on your mix of town, beaches, and dives.
