Fly from Paragliding in Rio de Janeiro

Professional paragliding (and hang gliding) school located in São Conrado. Booking and communication was simple and efficient. Luckily the weather was perfect the day we had booked to fly so we didn't have to deal with any changes. After registering at the school on arrival, we were taken by car to the launch site (Rampa de Voo Livre da Pedra Bonita). Flying on a Sunday it was very busy but this only added to the experience. The flight itself is over the Vila Canoas area affording great views of Pedra da Gávea and Pedra Bonita (landing back at the school). The general vibe is very relaxed. Safety is taken seriously, with the whole complex task of training, transporting, reassuring etc. is done in a way that felt very natural. Our pilots for the experience Eduardo and Christoph were excellent - their English language skills were great too. They were happy to answer our many questions and even acted as local tour guides, providing tips as we went. The camaraderie between all pilots was clear to see, creating a real community feel that was hard not to enjoy! Go for it; you'll love it!

Wir waren 3 Tage in Rio und wollten unbedingt fliegen. Das Wetter spielte erst nicht mit, doch 3 Stunden später ging es los. Carlos ist mit Bernd geflogen und sie haben beim Flug jede Menge Geikel gemacht. Ich hatte Höhenangst und wollte nicht. Ich würde sanft und mit soviel Verständnis, Einfühlungsvermögen und Geduld vorbereitet. Es war ein toller Flug und ich bin so sanft gelandet. An alle ganz lieben Dank. Wir können nur sagen-Rio von oben ist das tollste was man erleben . kann. Wir auf jeden Fall jeder Zeit wieder. Der Service war einfach toll. Bernd und Gabi
