Hang Gliding Adventure in Rio de Janeiro

One of the most popular things to do in Rio de Janeiro for lovers of adventure sports is hang gliding. When you book a hang gliding adventure tour while in the city, you get rewarded with spectacular views of Rio in addition to an adrenaline rush.

The location of the Rio de Janeiro hangs gliding adventure is Pedra Bonita, a mountain located in the São Conrado neighborhood, 20 minutes from Ipanema. You can take this tour even if you are a first-timer and have no skills or experience in hang gliding because you will be accompanied by an expert pilot during the flight.

The sport uses a metal-framed fabric wing, with the pilot mounted on a harness hanging from the wing frame and controlling the flight by shifting body weight against a triangular bar attached to the frame. The Rio de Janeiro adventure tour is conducted by pilots with many years of tandem flight experience who hold certifications by the Brazilian Hang Gliding Association. Relax and enjoy soaring in the skies like a bird, as your pilot manages the flight. You will land on Pepino beach, which is famous for its pristine beach and clear waters.
