Well, visiting Paraty with flip-flops is the dumbest thing to be done. The pavement is covered with 18th Century rocks, a hard slave work. It's beautiful, but, to walk, it's not the best floor. With flip-flops, the probability you have of falling down is 50-50. If the rocks were wet, this proportion increases dramatically. Take your tennis.
Unique Suggestions: If you reach downtown and find you forgot to let your flip-flops at the hotel, hold your flip-flops, or put them in a bag, and walk with bare feet. It's less dangerous (take care with dogs "works").
Fun Alternatives: Well, bare feet walking. Choose always the "sidewalks" or the central part of the rock floor to walk by; these parts are less irregular.
