The company takes you over the Iguaçu or Itaipu falls. 10-minute or 35-minute flight over Iguaçu Park and the cataracts or 35-minute flight over the Itaipu Dam, the "tres fronteiras" and the cataracts (up to 4 people). The show is certainly unforgettable, nevertheless, the followers of sustainable development in Foz and elsewhere will find this way of appreciating the falls very un-ecological, a paradox perhaps for a natural heritage of Humanity. It's up to you... or not!

Hang-gliding over Rio is an unforgettable experience! Ricardo Hamond, a French-speaking hang-gliding enthusiast for almost 30 years, launched his business in 1987. After a short run, we jump onto a sloping terrace on Pedra Bonito mountain, overlooking São Conrado Bay. Sensational views of Ipanema, Sugarloaf, the Rocinha favela and São Conrado before landing on Pepino beach. Ricardo equips his hang-gliders with digital cameras. A driver will pick you up and take you back to your hotel.

The city tour is 10 minutes for about $ 35.

Thrills are guaranteed during the flight over the park in a single engine plane. The plane takes off from the Barreirinhas Flying Club, depending on the groups that have booked the tour. Once in the air, the plane follows the course of the Preguiça River in the direction of the Pequenos Lençóis until Vassouras, and then heads towards the Grandes Lençóis. We will enjoy the unreal view of the dunes for about 30 minutes. Should you take a plane when you don't have to? Soon, the hydrogen planes will be clean... Until then, we leave you to judge.

Although hang-gliding is now less popular than paragliding, it was historically one of the first ways to fly over Rio "with your own wings", like Icarus. It's still magical to descend from the Morro de São Conrado and land on the beach. Rio Tandem offers both. Hang-gliding and paragliding instructors offer jumps from the Pedra Bonita. Of course, flights are made in tandem. The pilot and passenger jump from the Pedra Bonita, and the instructors lead the flight.
