Itinerary
Your private chauffeur will meet you at your hotel in Rio and ride to the boarding area close to Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon. After the safety introduction and a short briefing regarding the helicopter boarding and disembarking, take off, and soar over the marvelous city as you take in aerial views of some of the most famous sights.
You'll fly over Christ the redeemer and Corcovado mountain. The view, from a helicopter with the surrounding Tijuca National Forest spreading below and a circle of mountains closing the horizon at the very back of the Guanabara bay is truly spectacular.
Fly over Ipanema beach which is a peaceful area with attractive landscapes, clear sand, calm sea and beautiful mountain scenery!
Fly over Copacabana beach that was inspiration of songs and poetry, and one of the most famous postcards in Brazil. Copacabana is also stage of one of the biggest New Year's Eve in the world, the neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro has a lot of history, cultural life and bohemia.
Another famous postcard of Rio, the red beach is one of the most delightful beaches in town squeezed between mountains.
Close to the red beach, we fly over Sugar Loaf hill at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. It’s an iconic worldwide postcard and symbol of Rio de Janeiro well known for having one of the most breathtaking views of Rio, but from a different vantage point than at Corcovado.
Leblon beach is an extension of Ipanema beach, both located in prime areas of the capital of Rio. It's a quiet region, more empty than the neighboring Ipanema. Frequent scenery of Manoel Carlos' soap operas, Leblon beach has its visual beauties as a strong points.
Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon has a beautiful scenery perfect to the nautical sports, like Rowing and Canoeing. Flying over the quiet waters of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, you might see cariocas and visitants practicing sports, making picnic and relaxing.
Fly over the Tijuca National Park rainforest and its peaks like the Two Brothers Hill. Contemplate one of the most splendid views of Rio contrasting with the greatest urban forest in the world.
Fly over the Brazil’s largest slum, Rocinha Favela. A cosmos that in recent years has experienced great transformations and where live many common people that do extraordinary things. To get to see the maze-like network of unmarked streets connected by narrow alleys and stairs, a place that can be considered more of a community with typical favela architecture than a stereotypical ‘shanty town.
At the end of the tour, our vehicle will be waiting to drive you back to your place safely.
