Located on the south coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, is Paraty (RJ). Brazilian municipality located on the south coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, 258km from the capital Rio de Janeiro. Paraty is much more than just a small historic city. Coasted by mountains covered in the dense green of the Atlantic forest, the city is surrounded by Parks and Ecological Reserves, making the region one of the most preserved in Brazil. There are more than 60 islands and 90 beaches in Paraty, most of which are only accessible by boat or trails. The beaches of Trindade are an attraction in themselves: in February 2009, the federal government delimited Praia do Meio, in Trindade, as an integral part of the Serra da Bocaina National Park. Another aspect of relevance in the sector is the practice of sports adventure. City of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
