Check out our tips and enjoy the best that Boituva has to offer
But there’s much more to enjoy in the city than just ballooning
A professional skydiver fell to her death in Brazil after encountering problems with two of her parachutes.
Carolina Muñoz, 40, died after crashing onto a street Boituva, a city in the southeastern state of São Paulo, on Saturday afternoon.
Muñoz, a native of Santiago, Chile, was rushed to an area hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Terrifying video of the moments leading up to the crash show her spinning and then appearing to stabilize as she descends toward the ground.
Muñoz, who worked a physiotherapist and chiropractor, had been living in Brazil for more than five years, according to Brazilian news outlet G1.
She had been skydiving since 2013 and registered with the Brazilian Parachuting Confederation.
'At this difficult time, our thoughts are with our beloved athlete, her family and the entire parachuting community,' the Brazilian Parachuting Confederation said in a statement.
'We reiterate our commitment to the safety and integrity of everyone involved in our sporting activity.'
Muñoz is scheduled to be cremated Wednesday and her ashes were going to be delivered to her family in Chile.
Family and friends were left stunned by her tragic passing and flooded her social media accounts with tributes.
'Thank you for allowing me to live by your side the greatest adventures that life can offer me! ' one friend wrote.
'We will all miss you very much, until one day our friend, may you rest in peace!' the person added.
'Fly high, beautiful friend!' another wrote. Thank you for being in my life, for your support, your time, your kindness, the laughter, and those late-night study sessions. I adore you forever!'
Muñoz’s friend, Carols Schrappe, told Chilean television network TVN that she was looking into stepping away from the sport.
‘She wanted to quit skydiving, because she had lost some close friends in the past. And she was transitioning her career to freediving,’ Schrappe said.
‘She wanted to slowly quit it, not completely, because she really enjoyed it and had experience. She knew the risks, she was very eager, but unfortunately there was no time.’

Ethernal Boogie is a skydiving skills camp that takes place in Latin America
Its first edition was in Argentina in 2012
we celebrated the 11th edition of the event
I hope to tell you more about this very cool event and why you should go next time
Paulo Pires and Paulo Perini did a great job organizing the event
we must remember to mention Emilio Santa Coloma
He started this event in Argentina with an extraordinary energy filling everybody’s hearts
These guys are the trio we need to congrats for making the Ethernal Boogie happen
I was ready to help the ones arriving at the Skydive Club for the first time
the facilities and the staff are so good that I rarely was called for help
and almost everybody had a smooth check-in at the dropzone
a long one to ensure everyone understood the rules in Boituva
This created a great atmosphere of confidence and an event with no accidents
Everyone in this event must be able to fly safely in a group like that
The boogie started on Monday and finished on Friday with a big party and a video of the event
The lineup of coaches is always incredible
To celebrate the 11th edition of the Ethernal Boogie
and Paulo Perini decided to bring some of the first edition load organisers
the participants could jump and interact with world-class skydivers such as Luis Prinetto
Gil Guevara and the Brazilians Paulo Perini and Paulo Pires
Sometimes is hard to put into words what we learn in a skills camp
I finished the camp having perfectly in mind what I learned
It was amazing to have these guys’ input; the group’s difference from day one to the last day was incredible
and I believe everyone enjoyed this as much as I did
Ethernal boogie always brings people from all over the world
Some people from North America were present as well
the biggest crowd always comes from Latin America.
“We used to need to go to the USA or Europe
The idea was to bring them over to South America
We always focused on top coaches that could speak Spanish
or a language that Latin America would understand”
thanks very much to everyone who made this event happen
and the entire Skydive Club staff to all the coaches and everyone else who took a week off to come to Boituva to skydive their asses off
I’m hoping to meet many more people from around the world in Boituva
This dropzone has been an incredible place for skydivers with many planes
We all need to enjoy the Latin American vibe and South America’s culture.
I’ll see you in the Ethernal Boogie 2024
