Have you taken a vacation lately or plan to?
Here is a suggestion:
Ready. Set. And you don’t even wait for go. In this high speed sport, your adrenaline is pumping at equally high speed, and the thrill of free falling just can’t wait. From your vantage point, you’re flying towards a mapped-out Earth below, which is smiling wide at you. You can scream any profanity, sing an aria from your favorite opera, enjoy the view in Zen peace and quiet – you are anything you imagine at this height, where you own the world below, and the only thing that world below knows about you is that you’re a tumbling speck high up in the sky. Suddenly, it feels as though mom (because in this state, you are as carefree as any happy 5 year old) has grabbed you by your collar and brought your wild freedom to a sudden halt. Then you realize that your parachute has opened, and in your newfound comfort zone, you enjoy the rest of the ride and the view.
Such is the experience of parachuting, a sport rapidly gaining popularity in Brazil. The locals are not the only ones taking advantage of Brazil’s world-class parachuting facilities and natural beauty to admire from so high up in the sky. Travelers to the country are now also adding the exotic Brazilian natureza to their experience of this action-packed sport.
