The helicopter leg

  • Landing at the inn requires its prior authorisation, which the operator requests; it lies in mountain country where fog and low cloud are common, and plan B is Resende airport in the valley, with the last stretch by road.
  • The flight is visual, so arrival is planned in daylight; families travel with children and luggage on the same flight.
  • During the stay, the helicopter can take you to Penedo, Itatiaia, Paraty or back to Rio for an appointment, always by day.
