Soooooo much fun and so easy! - I was in Argentina & Brazil for 2 weeks, and this was my favorite excursion of the trip! Mariana clearly communicated about the meeting spot & time in the days prior, and she made the check-in process very easy that morning. Renato was an AWESOME guide/pilot, he spoke great English, and made me feel very very comfortable about running & jumping off a ramp strapped to a hang-glider. :) I fully trusted him for what we were about to do. For my trip, we were in the air around 6-7 minutes (based on the video). For the booking I chose, it included the front camera, but I went ahead and purchased the other cameras and the 360 view, which my friends will all highly endorse, as I've received SO MANY positive comments about the videos. It was absolutely beautiful flying through the air and such a freeing feeling. Renato also pointed out a lot of sites of interest and activities from the air. Landing on the beach wasn't too bad either. I'd gladly do this over and over again.

Renalto and Marianna were... - Renalto and Marianna were both great and the process was seamless and smooth. Renalto was great with easing my fears and once we took off it was amazing. Marianna was very knowledgable about getting the camera video and photos downloaded onto our phones and super friendly.
