If you have driven to Barra, or along São Conrado, you will probably have seen the hang gliders floating along beneath the blue sky. Well, they jump from high up a mountain surrounded by the Tijuca Forest.
Anyone can do it, as you will be accompanied by expert flyers.
From the parking lot for the hang gliding a 1250 m. trail leads up the Pedra Bonita.
For the hike you need stamina, but it is well worth the effort. Make sure to take some water.
The view is spectacular.
The location is a bit difficult to find. Once in São Conrado, keep to the right following signs for Estrada do Joá, right onto Gabriel Garcia Moreno. The access to the parking lot will be a sharp turn to the left after a good 10 minutes.
There is a nice look-out on the way.
