Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is known for its Paragliding! Its picturesque setting, including the ocean, the mountains, the rainforest & the urban landscape, make for an unforgettable experience!!
Paragliding is a recreational wind sport. It is as if you put together parachuting with hang gliding and out popped this sport! When you paraglide, you are essentially free-flying. You control the direction of where you are going by using cords. These are connected to the pilot’s hands, as he/she sits in a harness. Before your flight, you & your certified/experienced instructor instructor will meet up to go over important safety procedures, then you will head up to the top of a stunning mountain overlooking one of the last untouched parts of the Rio Rain Forest. No previous experience is necessary, because you will be flying tandem (attached) with an instructor. Since he will be controlling the cables, all you have to do is sit back & enjoy the ride. Careful attention is paid to the weather in order to ensure your safety. Your reservation will be confirmed the day before, the morning of, & minutes before the flight to make sure you will fly in ideal conditions. The flight time can range from 10-20 minutes, depending on the passenger’s weight & wind conditions.
Case Bromelia’s guest- Johnny from Los Angeles, California- always wanted to check that box on life’s must-do list! He paraglided off of the classic Pedra Bonita, a mountain located in the neighborhood of São Conrado, just 25 minutes from Ipanema. As you can tell, Johnny had the time of his life. Who wouldn’t? What was so remarkable to him, was just how quiet the city seemed from so high up.
