Bucket list - Been wanting to paraglide in Rio for many years and it did not disappoint.first off, both my friend and I are scared of heights and we're alittle apprehensive but Luiz was so so chill and calming that we both relaxed..the take off was so easy..we just walked off the ramp and was airborne. We were lucky because the weather was iffy that day, but there was an opening in the clouds so we were able to fly. Since there were quite a few clouds, it helped us stay up flying longer than usual...if you are hesitating, don't...it was a dream come true

Highlight of the trip - Offered us hang gliding or paragliding to us as options but we were already set on paragliding.
He was super friendly and cheerful, plus extra confident, which gives you confidence!
You get close to the mountain and can even steer yourself for a short period of time!
It was definitely the highlight of Rio and probably the whole trip. A definite must when visiting Rio!

Absolutely a Highlight! - I had such an amazing time. The guide/pilot (Louiz) offered both Hang gliding and Paragliding and I could chose depending on the weather conditions. You get super close to the mountains and can even steer a bit yourself. I would love to do it again, absolute highlight of my trip. There is also the possibility to get a 360 degree camera which make awesome Videos! Loved it!!!

Unforgettable! - Should you want to add a bit of adventure to your Rio de Janeiro travel experience - book this Paragliding/Hang gliding tour!
Btw, I would full heartedly recommend Luiz Ireno, the pilot.
He has decades of piloting experience and had made my Paragliding flight very smooth and very immersive one.
You will absolutely enjoy the flight.
This will be something you'll talk/remember about for years, for sure!

Awesome time Paragliding - This is a MUST DO. We really wanted to do Hang Gliding, but due to wind conditions we were suggested to try paragliding instead. Let me just say that everything happens for a reason because it was SO INCREDIBLE. Paragliding is definitely underrated and is such an incredible experience. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful as well.

too expensive - 200 USD for an 8 minutes flight is way too much. The views were really good though and the instructor was competent
