Paraty
Paraty is a colonial town which is located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its well-maintained colonial architecture. The city is located between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and is connected by public transport. It is recommended to stay at least two nights in the historical centre which offers plenty of cheap accommodations.
The best way to explore Paraty is on foot because it is a small village. This could be the plan for the first day. The second day you can join a tour for cachaça tasting nearby at some local distilleries. Cachaça is a Brazilian kind of rum made of sugarcane and it is used to prepare Caipirinha. This tour is combined with a visit to some waterfalls.
