Wings over Rio in Brazil - The day I soared above the city

2025-04-06
Hanggliding Rio

My hang gliding experience in Rio de Janeiro started at Pedra Bonita, a mountain rising into the São Conrado neighbourhood - only about 20 minutes from Ipanema. Surrounded by lush jungle and sweeping views of the ocean, it was the perfect launch point for something this wild.

I never thought I’d be running off the edge of a mountain in Brazil - but that’s exactly what happened. I didn`t think too much, or I would never been able to take that risk: just took a deep breath, run, and trusted the moment. The next thing I knew, I was soaring. Very worried to fell down in a shanty town – called favela in Brazil. This wasn’t just another sightseeing tour - it was a full-on adrenaline rush. Soaked in the views. 

With the city below, the Atlantic stretched out to the horizon, and mountains rising all around, made this a spectacular flight. The moment I took off, I felt a mix of awe and total freedom. It was quiet, surreal, and absolutely thrilling. Landed safely at a beach.
