Trindade
A laid-back fishing village south of Paraty, once a hippie hangout, where granite boulders and rainforest meet the sea. It is a favorite seaside base for backpackers.
A fishing village about 25 km from Paraty that was once a gathering place for hippies and still has a relaxed atmosphere. Several beaches line the coast, including Praia de Santana, the main beach Praia do Meio ('Middle Beach'), and Cachadaço Beach, where huge granite boulders and rainforest drop straight into the sea. From the Paraty bus station, buses take about 40 minutes, or you can drive south along BR-101, though the final stretch is a steep mountain road. The village has guesthouses, campsites and seafood restaurants, and it gets crowded on weekends in peak season.
