Explore the car-free fishing village of Pouso da Cajaiba and some of the best beaches in Brazil on this 3 night trip to one of the most remote parts of the Juatinga Peninsular Eco-Reserve. Although located mid-way between two of the largest cities in South America, Pouso da Cajaiba often feels as though it has been forgotten in time. Surrounded by wild and unspoilt Atlantic Rainforest and without mains electricity the local Caiçara fishing people continue to live off the sea and on this unique trip we experience their way of life. On our return to Paraty we pass through Brazil’s only tropical fjord to climb the Mamangua Sugarloaf Peak for some outstanding views of the whole region.

Standing on top of the Mamangua peak was really a peak moment in our trip to
Brasil.
And the four days we spent with you were the best getaway from a busy
life!
Thanks again!!

'Original and off the beaten track'
3 of the very best days I could imagine in Paraty were two day hikes
with Paddy to Sitio Sao Jose, up the Pau de Azucar in Saco de Manangua,
and kayaking in the stunning Paraty bay. Really superb! Sincere congrats
not only the original and off-the-beaten-track content of the trips
(for example the Sitio which was fascinating, fantastic vision to work
with this unique place) but also on achieving a rare guiding mix of
great fun, humour, exercise, knowledge and professionalism.
Would
highly recommend to anyone to take a trip with Paraty Explorer!

'A superb day out'
'Added to the pristine scenery and challenge of pulling
yourself up the slopes on ropes, was the fun company of our guide, Mike
aka Paddy from Paraty Explorer (google them, they don`t have an office),
who gave us a good explanation of the local geography and flora and
fauna, while also ensuring we make it safely up .... and down from the
peak. All in all a superb day out and you can certainly reward yourself
with a few caiprinias after returning home.'

'An amazing insight into sustainable
living'
'We had a fantastic day exploring the
rainforest and the agro-forestry of the eco-farm. Michael was a great
guide and made us feel really welcomed. He is fluent in Portuguese and
is a native English speaker so was a great interpreter for us to get the
most out of our visit with the family who run and own the farm. The
family were lovely hosts and served us the tastiest lunch. The sons were
very knowledgeable and could explain so much about the rainforest. It
was truly amazing to see the family living in harmony with the
rainforest. I totally recommended this tour to get a true insight into
life in the rainforests in the region.'
