How does paragliding in Rio work?
Unfortunately it was raining when I was in Rio de Janeiro so my flight was canceled 😩. But while I don’t do it myself, nothing should stop you from flying, right?! That’s why I’ve gathered some information and have negotiated the best rate and benefits for you.
What you need to know before paragliding over Rio de Janeiro’s coast
During a paragliding flight in Rio de Janeiro, you can see the famous Pedra da Gávea, the Tijuca Forest, and São Conrado beach from above. This is undoubtedly an incredible and unforgettable experience!
You will be right next to the instructor, both need to run a little to be able to take off, this being one of the moments of greatest adrenaline. You will be landing on the sand of São Conrado beach.

The weight limit of the guest is 120 kg. The minimum age determined by the ANAC to go paragliding in Rio is 14 years old. It is important that the minor (below 18 years old) is accompanied by a parent or guardian, and carries a photo ID.
