EVENING
On this day you can visit the Museum of Tomorrow, Kobra Art, Aqua Rio and Rio Star murals.
MUSEUM OF TOMORROW
The Museum of Tomorrow is a different science museum. An environment of ideas, explorations and questions about the time of great changes in which we live and the different paths that open up for the future. Tomorrow is not a date on the calendar, it is not a place we are going to get to. It is a construction in which we all participate, as people, citizens, members of the human species.
The Museum of Tomorrow offers a narrative about how we can live and shape the next 50 years. A journey towards possible futures, based on great questions that Humanity has always asked itself. Where we came from? Who we are? Where are we? Where are we going? How do we want to go?
The Museum of Tomorrow is incredible, with different and imposing architecture. I highly recommend the visit.
New opening hours:
• Thursday to Sunday 10 am to 5 pm (last entry at 4 pm)
• There is no ticket sales on site, only over the internet

DAY 3 – MORNING
Flying by Hang Gliding or Paragliding
There is no better place than Rio de Janeiro to fly hang gliding or paragliding. The double flight can be performed without prior experience. Accompanied by an instructor certified by CBVL (Brazilian Confederation of Free Flight), and after a brief training, you can now fly! The meeting point is at the Kiosk Voo Livre in São Conrado! Once there, climb up to Pedra Bonita, which is 520 m high and takes between 6 and 10 min.
In the paragliding flight you will be seated on the instructor’s lap, with different angles for 360-degree photos. In the hang gliding flight you go on the instructor’s side, with side and front camera.
The two flights are incredible and leave from Pedra Bonita, in São Conrado. Before scheduling, the instructor checks the weather and wind conditions for greater safety.
