The Best Things to Do in Paraty with Kids

Trindade is a paradisiacal cove with four beaches and a natural saltwater pool. This tour is run with van or minibus, with guides specialized in history, ecology, and the "Culture Caiçara" of the region. Enjoy your ride to Trindade village after a 40-minute drive in an executive vehicle. Visit Praia do Cepilho and Praia dos Ranchos, where you will stop for lunch at a fishermen's bar. Then, enjoy a swim at Praia do Meio and walk the trail to Caixa D'aço beach. Take an optional 30-minute walk along the trail in the preserved Atlantic Forest to the Caixa D'aço Natural Pool, where rocks form a swimming pool in the middle of the sea. Swim, relax, snorkel, and discover the various species of colorful fish and varied marine fauna. You can hire a boat in Praia do Meio to take you to the pool round-trip. This must be paid in local currency directly to the operator. When returning from the natural pool, stop for an optional lunch in a typical fishermen's restaurant facing the sea.  

Head out of Rio for the day, where a schooner awaits to take you on a cruise of the turquoise blue waters. Meet the islands of Angra dos Reis and the Unesco World Heritage site of Ilha Grande with several stops for swimming including the blue Lagoon and Gipóia Island where you will stop for a delicious lunch. With roundtrip hotel transportation and a buffet lunch included, a day of relaxation lies ahead.
