Once I was taken care of, my instructor equipped me, I had no instructions before the jump as to what to do and on landing like that I had no instructions. We landed with far too much speed and having no deposit we broke our face on arrival, my knees felt it well. The instructor asked me quickly if it was okay and qql seconds later he told me I leave you if I have to go back to the mountain again to jump?? Excuse me? I was a little shocked that he didn't even apologize or anything. They could have at least offered the video given the failed landing they made and the unprofessional handling!
OMG! Loved it!!! The best experience I had in Brazil! Totally worth every penny! My coach Luis (or Louis) is excellent!!! He is the best!! He came with high energy immediately, he speaks very good English, very clear instructions, also showing me the special places from the sky like a tour guide (I mean, the tour with the view from the sky!) He also brought two cameras, I got one video for free, I also used my phone for videos the whole time, and another 360 camera need to pay (around R$350, a bit expensive, so I didn’t buy). I got enough good memories. Can’t recommend enough! Since many people ask me, so I also posted on my IG with the TripAdvisor link.
EXCELLENT!!!! Top top top provider ! Very kind and helpful. Excellent experience! 10000% recommend - top professionals
It is easy to get on the gliding than I thought. When you are up in the air for 7 minutes and that was an awesome feeling I never have before in my life. I highly recommend it.
Excellent service and I got served in French which is my first language. I also asked to have a unique experience as I have done skydiving, deltaplane before. The instructor made us do 360s on paragliding, it was crazy but much fun. Thank you!
