Trindade: Paradise!







More from the world´s most beautiful places... well, at least the most beautiful places we´ve seen in a long, long time... Spent the day yesterday about 20 miles south of Paraty in the tiny beach town of Trindade (which I´ve been mispronouncing and misspelling as `Trinidade´) which is virually untouched by human hands... The scenery is absolutely breathtaking: rainforest spilling down towards white sand beaches; fresh water streams running through the sand towards the ocean; massive, crashing waves and natural pools filled with tropical fish... we hiked through the jungle (on marked paths, of course) to some of the most gorgeous, secluded beaches either of us have even seen... Spent the entire day swimming, lazing around, and drinking beer under an umbrella... pure satisfaction! We are really enjoying our new digs at the Pousada, and having fun getting to know the owners and their families. Tomorrow, we head off to Petropolis on an early morning bus... should be a delightful change, but we´ll certainly miss our time in Paraty! Have had an amazing time here and would love to come back in the future. More soon! xx Jason
