The take-off ramp is located in Parque da Cidade, with access via Charitas beach. It is 270 meters high and is one of the most visited tourist spots in Niterói.

There are two takeoffs: quadrants from the south and north wind. Hard to decide which of the mountain side has the most beautiful view. North wind takeoffs are facing Charitas beach, overlooking Guanabara Bay, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. The South wind takeoff is aimed at Piratininga beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the region.
Parque da Cidade has a great infrastructure, maintained by the local city hall. An excellent choice is Parque Bistrô restaurant, where you can find varieties of juices, beers and meals that are a delight. The owners, Dalton and Dráuzio, are local pilots well known by the free flyers. How about an espresso with a view of the sunset?

Visitors and onlookers love to admire paragliding takeoffs. The audience spares no applause and screams when witnessing every lucky one that flies away.

The landings are made on the beach of São Francisco, Piratininga or on the lawn of the official landing that is just below the takeoff. The best part of landing on the beach is that besides the amazing look you can have a beer or a very cold coconut water at the kiosks.
