Overview

This hang gliding activity in Rio de Janeiro lasts about two hours and is run by Konrad Heilmann, a world and national champion, along with his certified instructor team. The flight begins at Tijuca Forest National Park, surrounded by Atlantic Forest, offering aerial views of the ocean and Rio landmarks including Rocinha, Sugar Loaf, and Christ the Redeemer. Participants glide down to land gently on São Conrado beach. Hang gliding equipment is provided. Hotel transfers are not included but can be arranged for an additional fee. Video footage is not part of the basic package but can be bought locally. Weather conditions affect the schedule, so contacting the operator for updates before arrival is advised. Group size is limited to eight participants per booking. Weight restrictions apply, with those over 90 kg potentially redirected to paragliding for safety reasons depending on weather and physical factors. If choosing the 360° camera option, installing the recommended app beforehand and ensuring sufficient phone storage is necessary.
