About this activity
Meet your state registered guide at Paraty bus station at 08:30am to catch the bus into the mountain range behind the town. After the bus journey of approximately 25 minutes you will arrive at the start of a section of the Gold Trail that has been restored for people to visit. Access to the trail is only permitted on payment of a maintenance fee (included in tour price) and with a state-registered guide. The trail takes about 90 minutes and is downhill on very uneven rocky surfaces. During the walk you´ll find out about Paraty´s past; the history and construction of the Gold Trail; and the flora and fauna of the Atlantic Forest. After the waterfalls the guide will take you to Engenho d´Ouro cachaça distillery where the Brazilian rum is made the traditional way. At the distillery there will be a tasting session of the many different types of cachaça and liqueurs (included in tour price). There will be a chance to buy cachaça before you take the bus back to Paraty.
