Tandem paraglide over stunning landscapes
The tandem paragliding flight in Rio is an indescribable experience. After quick and safe instructions, we took off from the top of Pedra Bonita, soaring over Tijuca Forest and gently landing on São Conrado beach. About 10 minutes of flying with the wind in your face, taking in views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, and the sea. The instructor was attentive and made all the difference in feeling confident and light.
