Some years ago, maybe 2 or 3, I traveled on bus by some states of Brazil, well, really I arrived to Brazil on airplane, but isn't important. I found many great places, with very much nature, and one special place was the town of Paraty, because It was almost literally a place that time forgot. It was one of the richest towns in 17th-century Brazil, maybe because is located between the gold mines of Minas Gerais and the portugal ships, well, I don't know fine the real history, but as I was told, it was forgotten for a long time until he became a heritage site.
All the things in the city are old, is like a old picture, the centre is beautifully maintained, the houses are painted traditionally with white walls and brightly coloured doorways. When I walked by the streets, it felt much bigger than it is, maybe because the stones that formed the floor was very large, you can never see beyond a few blocks. The citizens told me, that there were two reasons for this: one, to protect the town from sea winds, and two, to hide it from pirates, I remember that I thought it was cool.
If you have time and money, go to Brazil, because it have wonderfull places waiting for be discovered.
