4. Tandem Parachute Jumping in Rio

The tour begins with a brief training, and then a 15-minute flight in a Cessna Caravan airplane properly conditioned for the parachute jump.  When the plane is at 4,000 meters above sea level, the doors will open and you will descend for 50 seconds in an adrenaline-filled free fall, until the instructor opens the parachute and you will fly for 6 minutes, culminating with a soft landing.   Travel tip: Although anyone of legal age can parachute jump, there are some specific cases that must be taken into account. One of them is the weight, since from 115 kg it is considered too dangerous. It is also necessary not to have practiced scuba diving the day before, to have drunk alcohol or to have donated blood.
