Paragliding

Rio de Janeiro is amongst the world’s best places to practice paragliding. Take off is from the ramp at Pedra Bonita hill which is located in Tijuca National Park and stands at a height of 510 m.

You will fly by paragliding above Tijuca Forest with panoramic ocean views before descending to land on the golden sands of Pepino beach, the little cucumber, in São Conrado. The paragliding flights last on average between 5-20 minutes depending on the force of the wind and other flight conditions.

Before your actual flight you will be instructed in the use of your paragliding safety equipment. You will also practice taking off before being ready to fly. At no time will anybody’s life be put at risk. You will be informed of flight conditions and any possible hazards before take-off. We are certified members of the Brazilian Association of paragliding.
