Paragliding in Rio de Janeiro
Paragliding in Rio de Janeiro
At the time of your choice, we'll meet on Avenida Mendes de Morais, located in the neighborhood of São Conrado. There we'll board a minibus and head to the starting point of the activity, where we'll finalize the details of the paragliding flight over Rio de Janeiro. What a thrill!
Once at the take-off area, we'll go over the basic safety measures and explain all the important aspects you should know about paragliding.
Accompanied at all times by the instructor, we'll take to the air with the paraglider and begin to soar through the skies of Rio de Janeiro. From the heights, we'll admire the lush nature of São Conrado and the Atlantic Ocean with the tall buildings of the city center in the distance.
You'll feel like a bird flying over the Tijuca National Park with the tropical breeze on your face. You'll even see the bays of Copacabana and Ipanema, hills like the famous Sugar Loaf, and rock formations like Pedra da Gávea, a monolith that stands 2,762 feet (842 meters) above sea level. Better views would be impossible!
After a flight lasting 6-10 minutes, depending on wind conditions, we'll land and say our goodbyes at São Conrado beach.
