An Unforgettable Paragliding Experience in Rio! - Paragliding over Rio was truly one of my favourite experiences of the entire trip. From the breathtaking views of the ocean, mountains, and city skyline, to the pure adrenaline of flying, it was absolutely magical. Huge shoutout to our guides Carlos and Odilon, who made the whole experience feel incredibly safe, fun, and exciting. The calm energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm put us completely at ease and made the flight unforgettable. If you’re visiting Rio, this is a must do, I can’t recommend it enough!
