Paraty & Ilha Grande (Costa Verde)

Brazil

A 5-day trip to Paraty & Ilha Grande (Costa Verde)

Emerald waters, Atlantic rainforest trails, and gold-route colonial stone.

Stretching between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the Costa Verde is Brazil's premier overland link, defined by steep Atlantic Forest dropping straight into sheltered emerald bays. It pairs the car-free trails and wild surf beaches of Ilha Grande with the 18th-century Portuguese architecture, artisanal cachaça distilleries, and caiçara dining of Paraty. Together, they offer an unhurried coastal reset between Brazil's two mega-cities.
