Fly in Minas Gerais with the locals

Discover the best of free flight in Minas Gerais. Join us for paragliding adventures, guided Hike & Fly experiences, and tandem flights across Eastern Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, and the Caparaó region.

Every adventure is thoughtfully planned by Sky Pirates, a local flying club with a deep connection to the mountains and a weekly tradition of hiking and flying at Ibituruna.

Experience Minas beyond the ordinary. Fly with those who call it home.

Three ways to fly with us

  1. For licensed pilots

    Flying trips

    Several days flying different launches across the region, with logistics handled: transport, retrieve after landing and a local guide who knows each site’s wind.

  2. For licensed pilots

    Guided Hike & Fly

    Hike up to launch with people who walk the trail every week, then take off from the top. The club’s way to get to know a mountain.

  3. No experience needed

    Tandem flight

    For first-timers: you take off together with an instructor certified for tandem flights and just enjoy the view.
