The Rio de Janeiro Adventure Sports Package is the perfect pick for those addicted to the adrenaline rush that adventure brings. Three great activities of Hang Gliding (or alternatively, Paragliding), Guanabarabay Sea Kayaking and Rock Climbing have been combined in one tour for a thrilling tour at a great value.
Hang Gliding is one of those activities that is a must-do in Rio. The tandem hang gliding flight starts from the Pedra Bonita ramp and goes over a stunning landscape, with the beautiful Gavea Golf Club, the São Conrado beach, the Atlantic Ocean and the Tijuca National Park below.
Participants can ask for pictures and/or a video of the feat, to preserve the memory.
Paragliding : the tandem paragliding flight also starts from the Pedra Bonita ramp and goes over the same stunning landscape, with the beautiful Gavea Golf Club, the São Conrado beach, the Atlantic Ocean and the Tijuca National Park below.
The basic difference between hang gliding and paragliding is that the participant glides in a sitting position in the latter. Participants can ask for pictures and/or a video recording.
Guanabara Bay Sea is an interesting way to enjoy unique views of Rio's amazing landscape. The kayaking base is at the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain, within the fort where the city was founded.
Sugar Loaf Rock Climbing: Rio de Janeiro has a number of climbing routes all over the city. The dramatic landscape offers lovely views on most of the routes. The best spots are Sugar Loaf Mountain (with over 200 routes), Corcovado Mountain (finishing at the statue), Tijuca National Park (sportive routes) and Serra dos Órgãos National Park (mountaineering).
Half-day and full-day activities are provided, as are climbing lessons for beginners. Hotel pick-up, full-time instructor support and all the equipment (climbing shoes, harness, rope, karabiners, etc) are included. Participants who are already climbers are advised to bring their own shoes for extra comfort.
