Paraglider Rafael Goberna achieved in December what could be the dream of many people who have already visited the beautiful Iguaçu Falls – Foz do Iguacu, fly over the beautiful Falls.
Considered a Natural Heritage Site of Humanity, in a unique experience, Rafael spent a few minutes in the air, flying over the turbulent waters, thus paying homage to Santos Dumont, who visited the site for the first time 100 years ago and was one of the great supporters of the creation of the Iguacu National Park.
According to Goberna “I always dreamed of flying over the waterfalls of Iguaçu. It is a beautiful, imposing place, which has a lot of strength, in addition to being one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
I started to delve deeper into the idea of taking a flight there and discovered that the place has a history very close to the history of flight, because Santos Dumont was one of the names behind the creation of the park open for visitation.”
Says Ivan C. Baptiston, head of the Iguaçu National Park, “The Iguaçu National Park was the first park, the first protected natural area in Brazil that was granted the title of Natural Heritage of Humanity.
This is a recognition of the importance, not just of the Falls, but of biodiversity, more recently, it was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of nature, of the world. So, it's a place to make dreams come true.
At more than 800 meters high, Goberna took a paratrike flight through the wonderful landscapes of the southern region of Brazil and, at the age of 22, added more experience to his vast CV, the entire behind-the-scenes process of the flight was recorded on videos.
During the process, safety issues were carefully outlined with the entire park team, such as wind speeds and river currents, to avoid failures and not affect the existing biodiversity at the site.
