On arrival to Brazil we headed straight for the Pantanal, the biggest wetland area of Brazil. We stayed for three days and during our time there we fished for pirhanas, searched for anacondas-although we didn´t succeed, rode horses throught the jungle, sat around bonfires drinking cachaça and slept off our fatigue in hammocks. The weather was beautiful and the experience incredible. The whole place is a hub for wildlife and caiman, parrots, monkies and eagles were spotted along the way. After three days in the wilderness, we were more than ready to move on to our next stop on the map.
We left for Paraty and arrived later that day. Paraty is a town in between Sao Paulo and Rio and consists mainly of quaint cobbled roads, a beautiful harbour, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Our accomodation can only be described as the epitomy of beach chillout. On our second day in Paraty we took a boat trip out to the surrounding islands, many of which are privately owned by celebrities. The temperature soared to about 31 degrees and luckily for us the boat´s top deck was completely bathing in the sun, as were we-sipping on cocktails of course. We stopped off at two remote beaches where we could jump off the top deck into the ocean. This of course took me about half an hour to be able to do.
Our stay in Paraty was relaxing yet short lived, soon enough we were on the road again to Rio.
