With lush mountains tumbling into the sea and a ring of white-sand beaches, Rio is one of the most beautifully located cities in the world. Accompanied by an instructor, take a hang glider trip from the Tijuca Forest National Park, passing sights such as Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Christ the Redeemer statue and the patchwork of Rio’s diverse neighbourhoods before landing on the beach.
