Wind lifts the wing and the city loosens its grip: Rio unfolds beneath you—curved beaches, dark green of the Tijuca Forest, and granite shoulders rising like old sentinels. A tandem paraglide from the Tijuca ridgeline sends you into that view, the city shrinking while Pedra da Gávea and Dois Irmãos pull your gaze along the coastline toward Sugarloaf and Cristo Redentor.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Wind lifts the wing and the city loosens its grip: Rio unfolds beneath you—curved beaches, dark green of the Tijuca Forest, and granite shoulders rising like old sentinels. A tandem paraglide from the Tijuca ridgeline sends you into that view, the city shrinking while Pedra da Gávea and Dois Irmãos pull your gaze along the coastline toward Sugarloaf and Cristo Redentor.
The launch sites around Pedra Bonita and nearby ridges sit on volcanic and granite formations carved by tectonics and time; the Tijuca National Park is one of the largest urban forests on the planet, replanted in the 19th century to restore watershed and soils. Flights pass over cultural landmarks and working neighborhoods—Rocinha’s terraced houses clinging to slopes and the surf of São Conrado where many landings occur—so pilots and instructors keep local traffic and conservation in mind.
Most operators run certified tandem flights: no experience required, 8–15 minutes aloft within a roughly two-hour booking that includes transport, gear, and a GoPro recording. Mornings bring calmer winds and softer light; afternoons can produce stronger thermals and a livelier ride. Operators cancel in poor weather and enforce weight and health restrictions—pregnancy is generally not permitted.
Practical prep: wear sturdy shoes, layered clothes, and sun protection; secure loose items and follow your instructor’s briefing on body position for launch and landing. Hydrate and allow extra time for traffic to take-off points. The flight is brief but intense—expect an immediate, airborne perspective of a city that dares you to look down and keep going.
No—tandem paragliding is designed for first-timers; you fly with a certified instructor who handles launch, flight, and landing.
Yes—operators enforce weight and health limits for safety; you’ll be asked your weight at booking and again at check-in.
Flights are cancelled in unsafe wind or rain; operators typically offer refunds or rescheduling and may cancel within 24 hours of departure.
Policies vary—many operators accept children with parental consent and minimum age/weight requirements; infants usually must sit on a lap and may be restricted.
