We arrived in Paraty late afternoon and had pre-booked our hostel for a few days. We had jumped off the bus and were heading to a main street to get our bearings when we were stopped by a hostel rep on a bike who told us to wait for a few of minutes as there were another couple who were heading to the same place as us that already knew where they were going, we all headed there together.
