Do you want excitement, a feeling of freedom and lots and lots of adrenaline? Skydiving gives you all this and much more. Here's another tourism tip in the Land of Cataratas, from Tarobá Hotel for you.
Skydiving, what is it
Skydiving is nothing more than jumping in free fall from inside a plane, at a height that can vary between hundreds and thousands of meters, returning to the ground with a parachute. There are several types of jump in Brazil, but the most suitable for those who are starting out in this sport or who want to experience this emotion for the first time is the tandem jump, accompanied by an instructor parachutist.
History of skydiving
The first parachute jump took place in 1797, while André Jacques Garnerin was enjoying his vacation in Paris. He jumped from a balloon from a height of approximately 2000 feet, above Parc Monceau. Over time, there was some improvement in the facilities and the military began to use this practice to leave their men and equipment in a more accessible area. As a result, the activity became a form of leisure in the second half of the XNUMXth century and only continued to improve. Currently, the jump is also open to non-parachutists looking for new sensations.
