Rio de Janeiro Sports & Outdoors Tips by SumTingWong

Rio Beach Sports

Whether you want to participate or watch, everyone can have fun with beach games. Brazilian Volleyball is a lot of fun, but hard because you can use everything but your hands and arms! Beach football is also extremely popular amongst the Brazilian youth. They have football games in the morning and in the late afternoon (too hot during the day). Both sports are a lot of fun to watch and if you want to participate you can try that too.

Wings Over Rio

This is an extreme sport and an extreme experience, hang-gliding. You can hang-glide from one of the mountain tops and work you way all the way down to the beach! Of cource you are with a professional, but make sure the professional has a government regerstered licence, believe me, you really don't want tp be up there with someone who is not a professional!! They will only go if the weather is good. If you have the nerves to go up, you'll never forget the experience!!!!!!!

Equipment: Strong nervs, likes hights!
