Overview

This helicopter flight over Rio de Janeiro lasts about 7 to 8 minutes and includes views of several key landmarks. The flight passes over Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, a well-known neighborhood reflecting the character of Rio. Next, it flies over the Botanical Garden area, where the Rio Botanical Gardens and nearby Parque Lage offer green spaces and trails leading to Corcovado Hill. The flight then approaches the Santuario Cristo Redentor, the 38-meter tall statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Hill, which provides panoramic views of the city. If weather conditions prevent clear views of Christ the Redeemer on the day of the flight, the helicopter will instead fly over Rio’s beaches. The tour requires a minimum of 3, 4, or 5 passengers depending on the helicopter type. Passengers are provided with a flight voucher, but snacks and other extras are not included. Service animals are allowed only on the ground and cannot board the helicopter. Pregnant women beyond 32 weeks are not permitted to fly.
