Jumpervint 0 #1 November 10, 2004 I have a jumping friend who is planning a trip to Brazil in March. Can anyone tell us about the closest dz to Salvador, Brazil? There are 14 listed in the Dropzone directory, but my knowledge of Brazilian geography is rather limited. TIA, Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."

wmw999 2,447 #2 November 10, 2004 The Brazilian skydiving federation's website is here: http://www.cbpq.org.br Bahia (the state that Salvador is in) DZs: Clube De Pára-quedismo Chapéu De Couro (Leather Hat skydiving) www.clubechapeudecouro.com.br E-mail: curso@chapeudecouro.com Looks like they onlyt have static line, but they're in Salvador. You can email them -- someone will speak English and answer. Another in Recife (which isn't all that close, but, well, it's closer than Rio Gravidade Pára-quedismo www.gravidade.com.br E-mail: gravidade@gravidade.com.br Another in Salvador: Skydive Itapirica http://www.skydiveitaparica.com.br/ email: skydiveitaparica@skydiveitaparica.com.br This one is on an island, and should have some great views.
