Rio packs a lot into a small strip between the granite and the sea, and the tandem hang gliding & paragliding tours below are the 9 that use it best. Each entry carries its price, its running time and the kind of traveller it suits, strongest first.

“It was a great experience; I will recommend it to everyone! Just one thing—if you want to book it with a transfer, they only pick you up. There is no transfer back. Honestly, you don't need the transfer, as you can easily reach the meeting point by taxi. It's a safe area.”

He took all the time needed for the GoPro and Insta 360 footage to be loaded to my phone.
