Paraty 4x4 Jeep Tour: Waterfalls, Water Slide & Cachaça 

4 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Slide down Paraty’s natural water slide, swim in rainforest waterfalls, taste local cachaça and follow the historic Gold Route, with lunch beside Tarzan Waterfall.

Waterfalls, cachaça and the Gold Route in one half-day adventure

Ride through the Atlantic Rainforest along the old Gold Route and experience the best of Paraty: crystal-clear waterfalls, local flavors and colonial history, all in one relaxed morning or afternoon.

Your adventure begins at the Pedra Branca farm, where two waterfalls and their natural pools invite you to cool off with a swim. From there, you’ll visit a traditional distillery to see how authentic Paraty cachaça is made, then taste your way through the range, including the famous Gabriela, flavored with clove and cinnamon.

The highlight comes next in the Penha neighborhood, home to Paraty’s two most famous waterfalls, Tarzan and Tobogã. Tobogã has a natural rock slide of about 20 meters, so bring your camera and your sense of adventure. Afterwards, you can stop for an optional lunch at a restaurant in the forest.

Your tour ends with a tasting of local cheese before you return to town.
