Para gliding off of Pedra d Gavea
Many people end up visiting the Copacabana Beach when in Rio de Janeiro. The main avenue in Copacabana is Avenido Nossa de Senhora de Copacabana. Buses travel up and down this Avenido/ Buses are the best way to travel in Rio and very inexpensive about 2-3 reais. Grab the 177 going to the beach of Sao Conrado. The bus ride will last about 44 minutes. You will travel past several beaches along a winding road. The ride is worth taking photos so try to get a seat on the left side of the bus as the best photos will be on the water side. If you are traveling with a partner carry a beverage with you as the buses are not air conditioned.
Beach of Sao Conrado
Get off the bus at the Beach of Sao Conrado. Go to the terrace area with concessions. Just follow the music. You have arrived. Grab anyone there and inquire about making a jump off Pedra da Gavea Mountain. You will have a choice of para gliding or hang gliding. I personally like para gliding because it is like sitting in a lounge chair under an umbrella while taking in the beautiful panoramic views. One tip that I learned is remove your flip flops or sandals before you launch because chances are you will loose them or pull them apart when you land on the beach. If you are with someone not gliding let them carry your flip flops down the mountain or tuck them into the back of your pants. Be sure to buy the video and photo option from your pilot for about 45 Reais. You will love sharing the video and photos with all your family and friends.
