Hangliding is a fabulous distraction and should be tried at least once by anyone with a sense of adventure. What better place to do it than over the vast city of Rio de Janeiro, with mountains, ocean, and expansive cityscape to appreciate.
Rio is one of the best places to visit in South America. It offers several opportunities to hang glide, and here are some of the options open to you, even if you're a total novice.
