wmw999 2,439 #3 January 24, 2008 No suggestions, but there's a dz in Rio. http://www.skydiveriodejaneiro.com and http://www.barrajumping.com.br both jump there. It's not uncommon in Brazil for more than one club to share a DZ. I have no idea what relations are like among them. The Brazilian parachute federation web address is http://www.cbpq.org.br. If you go to the areas menu it'll show you the dzs. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ktownbret 0 #4 February 2, 2008 You can jump in Rio. They have a cool little dz. Amazing view of the beaches. Good people. A handful who speak english. Only downsides were the price. It worked out to close to $50 per jump. And they landed about a 5 min drive from the airport. That was 2 yrs ago. It could have changed? The best place to jump in Brasil is Boutuvia(sorry for spelling?)I think they have a Caravan, and reasonable jumps. It is a 1 hr drive from Sao Paulo.www.okanaganskydive.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcandalysse 0 #5 February 4, 2008 most are only open on weekends try salvador BA or olinda PE for a real experience of carnaval if you still can grab a flight up there!
