Top 10 Things to do in Zona Norte (North Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

May 3, 2022 Milan Banda

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

This was my first time hang gliding, and I could not think of a better location to have done it! Between the views the adrenaline, I cannot describe how amazing this experience was. Well worth the money! As a first time jumper, I was admittedly overrun with adrenaline, but Ricardo was very professional, calm, and clear in his instructions. This made the experience smooth and free of any issues. Highly recommend you check this off your bucket list, if you make it down to Rio.

Reviewed By WilliamThomas - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

Seeing Vasco play and experiencing the electric atmosphere was another of my highlights in Rio. The crowd were buzzing with energy, with 90 minutes of chanting, singing and dancing in the stands. General admission are all standing areas, but you could sit if you really wanted. Get here over an hour before kickoff as there is a street party before every game with grilled meats and beers on sale. You can also buy drinks during the game which are expensive for local prices, but not bad considering that they are in the stadium.
