You step out of the van at Kiosque Bigode in São Conrado and the city exhales beneath you — ocean, runway of sand, and the green flank of Tijuca National Park rising like a living wall. In under 30 minutes the climb to Pedra Bonita cuts through shadowed Atlantic forest; wind plays at the ridge and the instructor checks gear with practiced calm. Then you run, the ground falls away, and Rio opens: Sugarloaf and the coastline stretch like a map, the surf daring you below.
easy.
2–2.5 hours.
Suitable for people in average physical condition — ability to run a short takeoff and move through uneven terrain is helpful
Flight time varies with conditions but typical tandem glides from Pedra Bonita last 5–15 minutes; the full activity including transfer and briefing is about 2–2.5 hours.
Operators commonly restrict passengers to those aged 14 and over and to a maximum weight near 110 kg — always confirm specific limits when booking.
No prior flying experience is required; flights are tandem with a licensed instructor who handles takeoff, flight, and landing.
Flights are weather-dependent; you can usually reschedule or get a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours prior or if the operator cancels due to unsafe conditions.
Pedra Bonita sits inside Tijuca National Park, a reclaimed forest that replaced 19th-century plantations and today protects one of the largest urban rainforests in the world.
Operators work within park rules; stick to marked paths, avoid leaving waste, and favor companies that follow Tijuca Park guidelines to minimize impact.
