PARATY, BRASIL

Located on Brazil’s coast almost midway between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Paraty is considered to be one of Brazil’s most magical and welcoming cities.  With its historic architecture and its Gold Coast nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage site, Paraty provides a lens into the history, culture and artistic traditions of Brazil — at the same time as an opportunity to experience Brazilian popular culture and people.

Situated where the mountains meet the sea, and adjacent to the Atlantic Rain Forest, it offers an unparalleled support opportunity for students to explore the vast natural resources for which Brazil is so well known.
