For a bird's eye view of
the city I took the Helicopter Sightseeing from the Heliponto Morro da
Urca 01 located at the first stop of the Sugar Loaf at the summit of
Morro da Urca. The ride for 1 person is R$300 and R$150 for three
passengers. Since I was alone and was very early when I came there I
decided to wait for some one interested to take a flight with me. Not
long after there is a couple who came to ask the information at the
ticket booth so I approached and asked if they would like to share the
ride with me. It's a 7 - minute flight. They agreed so we took the
first flight of the day. It turned out great because the pilot decided
to extend for 9 minutes instead of just 7. First we climbed to the
same level with the statue of "Cristo Rendentor" (Christ the Redeemer)
then we took the city bird's eye view, visiting the lagoon, beaches,
marina and landed safely. I rather let you take a ride with us
via my video clip and hope you will enjoy the flight. Please fasten
your seatbelt as we prepare for takeoff. |
