Hang Gliding in Rio de Janeiro
Hang Gliding in Rio de Janeiro
After meeting at Mendes de Morais Avenue in Rio de Janeiro, we'll board a minibus and head to the hill from which we'll start the hang gliding experience. The instructors will provide you with the necessary equipment and explain how to hang glide. Then, it'll be time to run down the slope with the instructor and start flying!
You'll be able to enjoy spectacular views of the jungle, the different beaches, and the main monuments in the city as you fly over Rio de Janeiro on a hang glider. Soaring in the air, you'll experience all the thrill and freedom of flying. You'll admire the Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema, and the tropical landscapes surrounding Rio de Janeiro!
Finally, we'll land on São Conrado beach after flying for 6-10 minutes.
