UNESCO-listed colonial port town on the Costa Verde between Rio de Janeiro (4 hours) and São Paulo (5 hours) — cobblestone streets that flood with the tides (intentional 18th-century engineering), 65 islands in the Bay of Paraty, and the surrounding Serra da Bocaina rainforest. Population around 40k. Paraty hosts FLIP (Festa Literária Internacional, July) which is Brazil's most-established literary festival. Coworking is thin but Wi-Fi is reliable. Brazil's DNV applies ($1,500/mo income, 1-year + 1-year renewal); 90-day visa-free entry covers shorter stays. The trade vs. Trancoso (Bahia) is no beach culture per se but exceptional walkability and a denser cultural calendar.
