Moving to paraty,rio brasil

Hey Chris , we are thinking of moving to Paraty when we return to Brazil in march....
Been a dream for a while, my wife and I currently have an online business doing skype English classes
Our biggest concern is quality of Internet connection in the area, do you have any info on that?

Hi
Regarding Internet in paraty? If you are moving to the town itself it's pretty good despite the usual power cuts which is normal.
We live in pedra Brancaster in the mountains above paraty and it's very difficult to get any connection unless we invest in an antenna.
I would go to one of the Internet cafés such as dog fighter and ask them what's best,we use them often and they have been very helpful over the 3 years we have been in paraty.
Drop me an email we are living in Suffolk until we leave for brasil  later this summer
Always nice to meet new baits.

Sorry about the predicted text mistakes
Just checked my reply to you.
Pedra Branca is where our pousada is and called pousada crystal Branca.

Hi
Yes in the town itself.
Power cuts, really? how often does that happen and why.....from storms?
I remember using an internet cafe in town back in 2013 and it was super slow even to send an email....

Hi again
The internet has improved and i have had to work from the internet cafe and can say most of the time its satisfactory,power cuts seem to happen often,especially during the rainy season,remember most electrical feed is overground not like the uk or europe which is cable.
But things are improving all the time and i have noticed change happening,a new supermarket,new bus station and in general Paraty is a good place to live.
As my wife is Brazilian we have travelled a lot in the country and the Costa Verde Coast line from Rio is for me one of the most beautiful,the climate is not too hot because of the mata atlantica rain forest.
Brazil is and can be frustrating for things to happen,it takes time, as as long as you are patient and except the way thing are you will love it there.
Regards Chris.

Hello,  It looks like I am 4 years late to the party.  It has been a dream of mine to live in Brasil.  I have been all over the country and love Nordeste.  I have noticed less people speak English there, and my Portuguese isnt stellar.  I am a breathwork facilitator and seeking a space to offer classes to tourists all over the world who speak English as I perfect my Portuguese.  From your experience, is Paraty a good option for classes and workshops?

Obrigada!

I do love Paraty, but for incoming tourists from other countries who do not speak Portuguese, it is not the easiest of places to reach
