Absolutely. I just spent 2 years living in Paraty, totally fell in love with the place.

Where to begin - it is a wonderful place. Rainforest covered mountains running down to a coastline with various types fo beaches strung along it (many good for surfing). A lovely climate, a bit of rain but nothing an Irish person can't scorn at. Quite a strong hippy community, quite cosmopolitan middle class city folk who've abandonned city life to live slow-paced humble lives in a natural environment. Also all sorts of traditional communities , caiçaras, quilombolas, indians, rural peasants, all with their own cultural identities and struggles. As it's a tourism hot spot there's a steady supply of cultural activites. Maybe not like london or São Paulo, but for me was more than satisfactory. Of course it's not a place without it's problems, but at least there is actually quite a sophisticated and well-articulated dialogue of struggle and resistance in the face of government under-funding and aggressive land speculation among various sectors of society. There's all sorts of hippy sort of initiatives, for example the solidarity economy is really starting to kick off in the face of the deepening economic crisis. And there's really strong communities of people seeking spirituality. All the conventional churches (some I'm not so keen on I'll profess), but also Candomblé, and contemporary shamanism, and Santo daime. Ayahuasca has been having a steadily increasing influence in forming a community of people who understand that each person has to quieten their own inner struggle, whilst at the same time being there for each other. "Estamos juntos" [we're all together] is what they say.
I really like it. :)

Wow that sounds like a really interesting place! I wouldn't have expected to see much of a hippy vibe in Brazil. Sounds awesome overall though :)

Jeez, Brazil is a really hippy place. I mean there's loads of non-hippy people, but there's a definite consistent segment of both middle class neo-hippies, and travelling
