Hang gliding between the Pedra Bonita ramp and the Corcovado, above the Christ’s statue, is a dream made true only for a few pilots. It depends on a concourse of climatic factors that may occur as scarcely as 20 times yearly only.

Getting to the Christ’s statue on a hang glider is like looking for a rare precious stone : it requires perception and sensibility, strength and smoothness, technical knowledge, the right equipment and a touch of luck. The right person, in the right place, at the right time.
