Roberto,s Rio Adventure

 

Hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro is a very special experience, Roberto had the unique sensation of flying like a bird, with a light breeze of tropical air in his face, surrounded by the beautiful mountains and beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

 

In Roberto,s words

 

Taking off was very simple and easy and not terrifying as you might imagine. After seven steps over the platform we were gliding smoothly through the air. The fear of not touching the ground soon disappeared and I was overcome by tranquility of floating in the air.

 

From the air you can really appreciate the many different sides of Rio; look to one side and you see the rock faced cliffs backed by lush green forest, on the other the main attractions of Rio de Janeiro; Sugar loaf , Corcovado , Copacabana , Ipanema , Lagoa and the city of Niteroi on the other side of the Guanabara Bay.
