It is pretty much the same sensation we experience when we face a change in our ordinary life. Once we separate our feet from the ground we recognize the tranquility, peace and armony of flying.

It consists of correctly using every accessory that makes part of the flight system (verifying that every line of the paraglider is free), the paraglider correctly displayed over the ground, carabiners perfectly closed, helmets and harness buckles correctly locked. The wheater and atmospheric conditions must also be verified.

Helmets, seats with Airbag/Bumpair type protection, emergency parachute and safety carabiners.

Yes, you can, the passenger is completely hands-free, however we don’t recommend looking through the objective for too much time, since this could lead to dizziness (similar to reading in a moving vehicle).

During the takeoff you must run in the direction that the pilot indicates and mantain the sprint (sometimes a simple movement forward) even if you feel the paraglider starts to go up. It is very important to remember you must be in front of the pilot always.

In a 2-seat flight, only the pilot and the passenger can fit, if you go with someone else they must go in a different paraglider, however both can takeoff almost at the same time.

Our flight spot is active the 7 days of the week from 9:00 am through 5:00 pm. The activity however depends on the wheater conditions. The morning tends to be the most appropriate moment for the activity since during the afternoon we may experience certain difficulties during winter (rainy days) and summer (very strong winds), these two situations doesn’t allow flying. We strongly recommend to verify and call us before booking a flight.

You don’t need previous knowledge or experience, all the instructions are provided by the pilot before the flight. Before the takeoff they will help you put on all the safety devices and you will be safety-locked to the pilot.

Short answer, no. However it is much better to book the flight since you run the risk of losing time due to one or more of the following situations: not ahving the best wheater conditions (rain or very strong winds), during the week not all of our pilots are available (so there may be less pilots available), high demand of the service (waiting queue).

You can book 1 or 2 days before the flight, even on the same day you expect to flight (in this case you should call in the morning – 07:00 am – 09:00 am, so you have plenty of time to prepare and arrive on time).

Just before the flight we recommend: - Not eating much, not flying after a night of drinking liquor, comfortable clothes (jeans, sneakers, etc). – Keep in mind this activity highly depends of the wheater conditions, so you must not be in a rush when going to fly.

An adult can fly alone only, and only if they receive a training course to be a pilot of paraglider. If you want to fly with someone else you must fulfill all the requirements to be certified as a double pilot (tandem or 2 seat pilot). Remember this sport requires a lot of practice and having someone under your care during this activity is no joke.

If you bring kids to flight they must be 4 or 5 years old at least and people up to 90 years old (as long as their size and physical conditions are appropriate). If there is good wheater it may be possible to land on the same spot we takeoff. If it is not possible, the landing spot may be in Bello (you will have a transport to the takeoff spot at no additional cost).

We have no specified limits, however depending on the weight some flight conditions may change. If the passenger has a weight of 90 kg to 130 kg it may affect the flight plan for good or for bad (don’t worry, we are not talking about safety, safety is always good). For instance, during a cold day with no relevant winds the flight may be shorter the more the passenger weights, it may be necessary to land in Bello, on the other hand if it is a sunny day with good wind the flight can be sustained for much longer and even land on the starting spot.

As long as your doctor doesn’t specify these kind of activities as risky, you don’t have to worry.

Yes, as long as you come accompanied by a responsible adult.
