the take off for the hang gliding is located in the tijuca national park, the largest man-made urban forest in the world, at the gávea & bonita rock formation, from a launching platform at an impressive 520 meters above sea level.   

the take off ramp at gávea & bonita is considered by many the best place in brazil for tandem flights, as it offers participants the perfect experience - both safe, and dramatic.

the flight itself usually lasts between 8 and 30 minutes, packed with exhilaration and beauty, as participants are rewarded with stunning views of the city's sights, such as the pedra da gávea, pico dois irmãos, and corcovado mountain.    

this unique adventure then comes to a picturesque ending, with the landing area on the clear sands of the pepino beach (praia do pepino) setting participants down at the perfect location to wind down after an exciting flight.
