Where and how to fly

Hang Gliding from Pedra Bonita Ramp, located at Tijuca Forest National Park, at a height of 1700 feet (520 meters) and landing on São Conrado "Pepino" Beach. 

Taking off ramp

Professional instructors certified by the Brazilian Hang Gliding Association.


Over 24 years of hang gliding experience and over 20 years of tandem flight experience!!! 


The flights last from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the wind and on the weight of the passenger. 

No experience necessary!!! 

Once at the take-off ramp we are fitted with a harness that will be securely attached to the hang glider, we have a briefing and a practice run, then, in few minutes, we are ready for the take-off.

In normal weather conditions it is not cold and we can wear light clothes, such as t-shirts, shorts or pants and tennis shoes or sandals that strap on. 

We can fly from sunrise to sunset, but best time for good wind is between 9am and 2pm. 

Cloudy days can be even better than very sunny, clear and hot days. 

Sometimes when the day is not good for the beach it can be the best day for hang gliding. 

Best flight conditions happen right after cold fronts when it is still cloudy or partially cloudy. 

We take a beautiful and scenic drive through Tijuca Forest National Park to reach our take-off point.
