Adventure in the Sky: Flights and Jumps Boost Adventure Tourism in São Paulo's Interior

The interior of São Paulo is emerging as a popular destination for adventure tourism, featuring activities like paramotoring and paratriking.

The interior of São Paulo is quickly becoming a sought-after location for adventure enthusiasts, with over 200 cities offering various outdoor attractions that allow visitors to engage with nature in unique ways. In the region of Itapetininga, the town of Paranapanema hosts annual gatherings for pilots of paramotor and paratrike, where flights depend on favorable wind conditions, presenting a breathtaking experience for both participants and spectators.

These aerial activities not only provide an exhilarating experience but also play a significant role in boosting the local tourism economy. As detailed in the ongoing TV TEM series 'Turismo SP,' the adventure tourism sector has demonstrated its capacity to generate employment opportunities and stimulate local businesses. The region's natural beauty and focus on outdoor activities draw tourists for both lengthy vacations and short getaways, underpinning the region's status as a prime tourist destination.

Claudio Tonhetta, president of the Brazilian Aeromedical Confederation, highlights that the flights are primarily contemplative, designed to showcase the stunning landscapes of the area, with paramotor wings capable of achieving speeds of up to 80 km/h in optimal wind conditions. This emphasis on safety and enjoyment contributes to the appeal of adventure tourism in São Paulo's interior, ensuring visitors have memorable experiences while exploring the region's vast natural resources.
