Activity Details
Our meeting point is set at Estadero El Voladero, situated in the mountainous region to the north of the Aburrá Valley. Here, a brief safety briefing will precede what promises to be an exhilarating flight experience. Are you prepared to take off?
After getting suited up, you will embark on a tandem paraglider journey, partnered with an experienced instructor who will handle the flight. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take the reins for a few moments or request some thrilling maneuvers for an extra adrenaline surge. The choice is yours!
As you ascend, a breathtaking panoramic view of the Aburrá Valley will unfold before you—a sprawling green expanse set against the backdrop of the Andean mountains. Throughout your flight, the landscapes of northern Antioquia will reveal themselves, with the city of Medellín visible in the distance, nestled among the hills.
From above, the captivating sights of Medellín, aptly named the City of Eternal Spring, will be at your feet. The landscape is a delightful mix of modern skyscrapers in the bustling center, neighborhoods cascading down the hillsides, and the majestic Medellín River weaving through the valley.
You will also get a glimpse of the verdant mountains encircling the city. Our flight will glide over the renowned San Félix region, celebrated for its expansive vistas and crystal-clear skies, making it a prime spot for free flight in Colombia. Prepare for a visual spectacle that will leave you in awe!
During your 15-minute flight, revel in the pure sensation of freedom as you drift among the clouds—a merging of thrill, natural beauty, and a profound connection to your surroundings.
