Nearly two years on from my trip to Saquarema and it still ranks amongst some of the best flying I’ve done. It was so easy – wake up, walk to the hotel by the beach where all our kit was stored, get everything on and go flying. So easy!
Great excursions, from flying down the coast to Arrial do Cabo to going the other way towards Rio Paramotor, to visiting a local farm for a churrasco – this trip had it all for those who wanted to get some flying in, every day.
But it wasn’t just about the flying – there was plenty of time to immerse yourself in the culture… visiting Christ the Redeemer and taking the cable car up to Sugarloaf Mountain were two particular highlights, as was walking down the Copacabana at night!
Everything was arranged perfectly – we had a driver, a ‘local fixer’ and even someone assisting us with customs which helped us get our equipment in and out of the country without hassle.
A great experience, and one which I hope to revisit in the future. Thanks Ricardo and crew.
