Pedra Bonita, at an altitude of 693 meters, is located in Sector C of Tijuca National Park. Thanks to its privileged location, the area houses the only paragliding take-off ramp in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where it is possible to practice Hang Gliding and Paragliding. The ramp features a small bleacher, providing a comfortable space to watch the take-offs and an excellent spot for taking memorable photos.
At the top of Pedra Bonita, the scenery is stunning: the majestic Pedra da Gávea rises between the beaches of Barra da Tijuca and São Conrado, while the vastness of Tijuca Forest surrounds the area, creating a unique atmosphere of peace and unparalleled beauty.
