Tour 6: Hang-Gliding in the skies above Rio
This is a very special tour and is great to start or end your stay in Rio with. You will be picked up by car from our pousada and drive to the Pepino Beach in Sao Conrado. The trip takes around half an hour and you will see large parts of Rio and the floresta de Tijuca.
At the beach, we will pack the hang-glider before we drive to the steep hill of Pedra Bonita, next to Pedra da Gavea. Together with an instructor you will jump from the ramp at a height of more than 1000 meters. You will be hanging to the side of the instructor and are free to move your hands or even take pictures. From above, you will see the mountains of Pedra da Gavea, Dois Irmaoes, the Pepino Beach, the Hollywood style villa district of Sao Conrado and the Favela Rocinha, the biggest in South America.
The flight will take between 10 to 15 minutes, according to weather conditions. You will land on the beach.
After touching down, you may take a drink on the beach before the taxi will take you back to the pousada, or anywhere else in Rio if you donīt wish to return immediately.
Total duration: Around 3 hours
