Paragliding in Rio de Janeiro
Description
Experience the breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro with an exhilarating paragliding adventure. Feel the rush as you soar high above the stunning landscapes of the city!
Paragliding Experience in Rio de Janeiro
We will gather at your preferred time on Avenida Mendes de Morais, situated in the São Conrado neighborhood. From there, a minibus will take us to the launch site where we will review the details of our paragliding experience over Rio de Janeiro. Get ready for an exciting journey!
Upon arrival at the launch point, we will cover the fundamental safety protocols and provide all the necessary information related to paragliding.
Alongside your instructor, you will ascend into the air with the paraglider and begin to glide over the stunning vistas of Rio de Janeiro. High above, you will marvel at the vibrant nature surrounding São Conrado and glimpse the Atlantic Ocean, with the city's skyline visible in the distance.
As you hang in the skies like a bird, the tropical breeze will embrace you, offering views of iconic spots such as the Tijuca National Park, the picturesque Copacabana and Ipanema bays, as well as the renowned Sugar Loaf and the impressive Pedra da Gávea, which rises 2,762 feet (842 meters) above sea level. The views are simply unbeatable!
Your aerial journey will last between 6-10 minutes, depending on wind conditions, concluding our adventure with a landing on São Conrado beach, where we will part ways.
