There are a huge variety of sports options in Rio de Janeiro, in addition to kitesurfing. Whether your body needs a break from the intense kitesurf sessions or you’re just looking for a new adventure to make your vacation that much more memorable, MaximRio can make it happen.
Hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro is a spectacular experience. You will have the unique sensation of flying like a bird, with a light breeze of tropical air in your face and surrounded by the beautiful mountains and beaches of Rio de Janeiro. It is truly an experience not to be missed!
São Conrado is the neighborhood where the beauty of nature is strongly present. This is where the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean. The Tijuca national park, the largest urban forest in the world, surrounds São Conrado. The surrounding mountains are part of the section of the Tijuca National Forest, and are called Pedra da Gávea, Pedra Bonita and Cochrane. They and their two brother peaks will be seen as your hang glide over Rio.
Flying means gliding smoothly through the air! Your MaximRio hang gliding adventure begins with a short briefing with the world’s best tandem pilots about the take-off and other aspects of hang gliding. Taking off is very simple and easy and not terrifying as you might imagine. After a short run over the platform you will feel and understand why birds are peaceful animals, the fear of not touching the ground will disappear and you will be overcome by the tranquility of floating in the air. During flight you will also see the main attractions of Rio de Janeiro, including Sugar Loaf, Corcovado, Copacabana, Ipanema, Lagoa and the city of Niteroi on the other side of the Guanabara Bay.
After a smooth landing on the sandy beach of Sao Conrado, you will be offered refreshments while you watch others land. The whole adventure can be photographed by a special camera attached to the glider or video-recorded so you can share this unique adventure with your envious friends and relatives back home.
In addition to the amazing hang gliding of Rio de Janeiro, there is so much more to do and see in and around the city itself. With MaximRio, you just have to let us know what you want to see and do during your vacation, be it ending up in a spectacular nightclub or starting out early for a full day of hang gliding. You will have the option of guided access to all of these amazing places and activities with your MaximRio host. And as always with MaximRio, you will travel in pure style, as we assure your comfort and safety.
