Overview
From the air, Rio finally makes sense: you see how the mountains push the city into strips along the water, and you circle Christ the Redeemer at eye level, which is something no viewpoint offers. The route runs over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Ipanema, Copacabana and Sugarloaf. Flights leave from a lakeside or Urca helipad, with a safety briefing and window seats for everyone on board.
Highlights
- Circle Christ the Redeemer at statue level
- Views over Ipanema, Copacabana and the Lagoa
- Window seat guaranteed for every passenger
- Professional pilot commentary
