Gliding activities in Brazil

A
Clube Esportivo Ultraleves
Ultra-leve (ultralight) flights are more comfortable than hang gliders, but you have to listen to the motor. Trips leave from the Aeroclube do Jacarepaguá. The club has some long-range ultralights that can stay up for more than two hours. Courses are available.
