Colonial Puddle

Paraty, RJ: During the colonial period, the gold mined from Minas Gerais came down the mountains to be shipped out of Paraty. The trail down the mountain is an indigenous path irregularly paved by the Portuguese crown. Descendants of the Brazilian imperial family live in the city, including a prince who owns a 3 star hotel in the historic downtown... These paved streets in the historic downtown are often flooded by the tides.
