🗺️ Spectacular Opening: Wild Coast and Stone Giants
-
1 – Reserva Beach and 2 – Barra Beach: Feel the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. From above, Barra reveals itself as a modern linear metropolis, but Reserva emerges as a strip of untouched golden sand, a secret protected by the sea and the restinga vegetation.
-
3 – Joatinga Beach: A hidden gem! You will see this small and exclusive cove with waters that seem painted, nestled between the hills, a spectacle of privacy and natural beauty.
-
4 – Pedra da Gávea: Float side-by-side with this granite monument. The 45-minute tour allows us to get close enough to see the famous "emperor's face" and the grandeur of its formation, which defies gravity.
-
5 – São Conrado Beach and 6 – Morro Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers Hill): The perfect contrast. The helicopter will take you to circle the Morro Dois Irmãos, revealing the classic and perfect view of the South Zone, with Pedra da Gávea framing the horizon.
✨ The Classic Heart: Urban Mosaic and Forest
-
7 – Leblon and Ipanema Beaches and 8 – Arpoador: See the impeccable design of Ipanema, the urban checkerboard, flanked by the Lagoon. At Arpoador, the famous sunset spot transforms into a unique view of the beach curve, a natural sculpture.
-
9 – Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, 10 – Jockey Club, and 11 – Botanical Garden (Jardim Botânico): Oases of green and blue. You will see the Lagoon reflecting the sky, with the Jockey standing out like an elegant horseshoe, and the Botanical Garden as a mosaic of perfectly aligned imperial palm trees.
-
12 – Tijuca Forest and 13 – Christ the Redeemer: The highlight! The 45-minute flight guarantees precious time for a complete and slow rotation around Christ the Redeemer. You will be at His eye level, with the immense green of the Tijuca Forest stretching out below, a natural embrace.
🏰 The Historic Coast and the Stage of Sport
-
14 – Copacabana Beach, 15 – Praia Vermelha, and 16 – Sugarloaf Mountain: The "Little Princess of the Sea" in all its splendor, with its iconic sidewalk. Then, the Pão de Açúcar, where you will have a unique perspective of its ascent, floating over Guanabara Bay and Praia Vermelha, which looks like a dash of colour in Urca.
-
17 – Botafogo Beach and Flamengo Landfill: The flight delves into the bay, revealing the Botafogo Cove and the vast green carpet of the Aterro, a human intervention connecting the past to the present.
-
18 – Arcos da Lapa and 19 – Museum of Tomorrow: A quick and exciting glimpse of the downtown area, where History (Arcos) meets the Future (Museum of Tomorrow). A juxtaposition of eras that only flying reveals with such clarity.
-
20 – Sambadrome and 21 – Maracanã Stadium: The consecration of sport and culture. The helicopter glides over the Maracanã, the "Temple of Football," and the Sambadrome, seeing the stage of the greatest show on Earth from above, revealing the scale of these structures.
-
22 – Olympic Park: On the return, the modern and grand vision of the Olympic legacy, with its imposing arenas, which completes the narrative of a city that is a stage for global events.
Conclusion: This is the ticket to the soul of Rio. In 45 minutes, you will have in your camera and in your memory not just photos, but a three-dimensional understanding of why this city is the only one in the world to have been declared a World Heritage Site as a Cultural Landscape.
