1. One-hour sightseeing flight

Our private car will take you to a helicopter landing, where you’ll take an outstanding one-hour sightseeing flight. Flying over São Paulo will give you views of the most iconic buildings in this huge city, including the stunning Edifício Copan, designed by Oscar Niemeyer’s firm.
