Hang gliding in São Conrado - Rio - Brazil

[gcidade]

One of the best and most original views from the Rio de Janeiro city is through the air. From decades already tourists (and locals!) can take a double hang gliding flight from the top of the "Pedra da Gávea" stone down to the São Conrado beach. It's presumably quite safe though I never had the courage to do it because I'm not very fond of heights! I prefer to stay on the ground level taking pictures. It's so nice to see the excitement on the faces of the passengers! The view is definitely amazing!

Hello @gcidade,

Wow, that looks so fun! Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo with the Community! I would like to see Rio de Janeiro myself some day and when I do, I will definitely try this hang gliding flight. Is this beach famous among tourists? Can you share a bit more information on how to reach this place and when is the best time to visit?

If you can add a bit more details to your great photo I’m sure it will help others to understand why you are sharing and why they should read your posts. To make your post more interactive you can read this article on What makes a good post on Connect.

I think that @FelipePK has visited this beach and enjoyed it.

Olá @gcidade,

Prazer em conhecê-lo.

Oh praia de São Conrado, que lugar maravilhoso. Eu fui poucas vezes à ela mais adoro o lugar e é bem legal ver os voos de asa delta. Eu particularmente nunca tinha o prazer de voar de asa delta ainda mais da Pedra da Gávea =/. Você já? 

Na minha região é mais comum os voos de Parapente/Paraglider do Pico Agudo em Santo Antonio do Pinhal.
