Tourist vs Traveller is a very old question, now that there are more tourists..I fell in love with Paraty at first sight, reminded me so much of Baracoa in Cuba where I was living at that time. I have been there twice and plan to be there soon.
For fans of Brasilian movie, a 1983 film Gabriela (wondeful book by Jorge Amado) was shot in Paraty.
from Wiki:Gabriela is a 1983 Brazilian romance film directed by Bruno Barreto. It was shot in the cities of Paraty, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and in Garopaba, Santa Catarina. It starred Marcelo Mastroianni and Sonia Braga.
Like Baracoa, Paraty attracts the out of the way people who live there. Tourists may not come across them but travellers would. I hope to stay at Pousado do Principe this time. Once again thank you for a good read

Though the old town is charming! And you are absolutely right about those reflection shots – they looks awesome!

Maybe it didn’t require too much time? Still, it’s great that you got to visit when there were no tourists, it’s such a rare occurrence… I loved your photos of the early evening, great reflections!

Sorry now we missed the colourful cobblestone street town. It does look charming! Although I know from experience that too much walking on these streets will kill my feet and ankles in no time. The day trip spots do look lovely. And might make me want to spend a few days here.

It reminds me of a a small town in Europe, the cobblestone streets and charming buildings! So very cute. I’m also very enticed by the food, in particular the icecream, YUM!

While it has it’s touristy aspects, I wouldn’t call it a tourist trap out right because there are plenty of places to visit that only locals know.

Is Paraty a tourist trap? is a question I was hooked onto and almost urges me to scrape the layer of tourism off a lot of places I have been to, which may be called ‘touristy’ or ‘may be not’. The cobbled streets and walkways with yellows and blues did remind me of the Albufeira particularly in Portugal Algarve. I loved the reflective images in your post.

Any towns that have hikes in or near them are okay with me.
