About this spot
Rio de Janeiro kites the way the city lives: close to the street and full of energy. Several distinct spots line the coastline, from the wave-heavy beaches of Barra da Tijuca to more protected corners.
Thermal and frontal winds take turns, and the mountain backdrop makes even an average session photogenic. This is the hub of the Brazilian kite scene, with city amenities a bus ride from the beach.
