About helicopter tours

Why fly in Brazil

Brazil's helicopter tour scene is centred on Rio de Janeiro — one of the most cinematically photogenic cities on earth from any angle, but especially from the air. Tours depart from Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and climb past Corcovado for an eye-level pass with Christ the Redeemer, then trace the postcard arc of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon before circling the granite dome of Sugarloaf. The contrast of dense Atlantic rainforest peaks rising directly out of urban beachfront makes Rio's geography unique among world cities, and a 30-minute flight delivers Carnival, the Mata Atlântica jungle and the South Atlantic in a single window. Brazilian operators are ANAC-certified and fly modern Eurocopter twin-engine aircraft, with strong safety records on the city's tightly controlled tourist corridors. Beyond Rio, charters reach Búzios, Angra dos Reis and the Iguaçu Falls.
