Featured guide: it's all about Harry!
Having lived in some of the world's major concrete jungles: Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Rio and London, 15 years ago Harry decided to move to the Real Jungle! For his new home Harry chose Paraty, a small town with a cosmopolitan atmosphere, surrounded by pristine rain forest and a beautiful bay. Originally from Argentina Harry was one of the first people to train locally as a tour guide and for the last 10 years he's worked here as an "eco historical" guide. In his work he brings together his two passions - the ecological issues surrounding the preservation of the Atlantic Rainforest and the rich and colorful history of Paraty since the discovery of Brazil in 1500.
There's rarely a dull moment in Harry's working life these days as the visitors to Paraty vary enormously, occasionally some famous ones too! Harry has done his delightful walking tour with stars such as Ralf Fiennes and Michael Palin amongst many Brazilian and Argentine celebrities!
