*Hangliding
- By far our highest recommendation, as rio is one
of the few tropical cities in the world where you can hang-glideor para-glide
over the city and land on a beach. And no, it is not dangerous, (but will
kick your adrenaline sky high, no pun).

of Rio de Janeiro, there are rafting tours take you to white waters nearby.
Only Weekends - Facilities include: Transfer to and from, breakfast
lunch and an English Speaking Guide. R$ Please Ask

*Diving
or Snorkling - If you
ever wanted to learn to scuba dive, this is it. You can take a day course
called a "baptism" , wich you spend an hour learning the
teory, then get intothe water with an instructor by your side.( minimum
2 persons ) - On weekends - Facilities include: Transfer to
and from, 2 dives all equipments, an English Speaking Guide, fruits

*Rappel
and Hiking - is a lot safer and easier than it looks. After you
it, you will slap yourself in the forehead. It requires little strenght
(just enough to feed the rope through the break) and so can be done by
anyone, specially those scared of heights. There are two types: The dry
and the wet rappel: one on rock or cliff, the other in or next to a waterfall
. Either is fun. there are many places in Rio where you can do them: Sugar
Loaf Mountain, Corcovado, Pedra da Gavea, Itaipava (next to Petropolis),
Grumari, Cabo Frio (next to Buzios) and other places. Hiking is a great
sport if you are in mixed group of athletes and non-athletes, since it
involves stamina more than strenght. On Weekends ( minimum 2 persons )
