Paragliding in Rio de Janeiro

At the time of your choice, we'll meet on Avenida Mendes de Morais in the neighborhood of São Conrado. There we'll board a minibus and head to the starting point, where we'll finalize the details of the paragliding flight over Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the take-off area, we'll review the basic safety measures and explain important aspects of paragliding.

Accompanied by the instructor, we'll take to the air with the paraglider and begin to soar through the skies of Rio de Janeiro. From above, we'll admire the nature of São Conrado and the Atlantic Ocean, with the city center's tall buildings in the distance.

You'll enjoy views of the Tijuca National Park, bays of Copacabana and Ipanema, the Sugar Loaf, and Pedra da Gávea, a monolith standing 2,762 feet (842 meters) high. After a flight lasting 6-10 minutes, depending on wind conditions, we'll land at São Conrado beach.
