The Gold Trail is a historic walking route that once connected Paraty to Brazil’s inland gold mining regions.
Used during the colonial period, the trail played a key role in transporting gold to the coast for shipment to
Europe.
Today, sections of the Gold Trail can be explored on foot, passing through forested areas, stone paths, and rural
scenery. Walking the trail offers insight into the region’s history while enjoying natural surroundings.
For travelers, the Gold Trail provides a meaningful experience that combines history, nature, and light hiking in
