Paragliding: try the most adrenaline-pumping activity in town

Paragliding or hand-gliding in Rio de Janeiro

Free-flying over Rio can be addictive: almost 23.000 people jump into the void every year. Flights

Paragliding flights take off from Pedra Bonita ramp, in Tijuca National Park (São Conrado). The instructor will be with you during the flight, that will last from 15 to 20 minutes for a coast of about 330 BR$ per person (an extra charge is due for pictures and videos).
