Description

For those seeking adventure, our paragliding experience in El Quindío is ideal. Get ready to elevate your excitement as you glide above the stunning coffee farms of Colombia's Quindío Department, soaking in breathtaking landscapes.

Paragliding Experience in El Quindío

Your adventure begins at Plaza de Buenavista, located in the municipality of the same name within Quindío. After meeting, we will board our transportation and journey to the airstrip, situated at an altitude of 6,200 feet (1,890 metres) above sea level.

Upon arrival, our skilled pilots will provide a detailed briefing on the safety measures and essential guidelines for both take-off and landing during your flight. Once you’re equipped with your harness and helmet, it will be time to ascend into the sky!

During your exhilarating flight, which lasts between 10 to 15 minutes, you will soar over the Coffee Cultural Landscape, a picturesque mountainous area filled with coffee plantations, guaduas, and trumpet trees. As you travel along the 4-mile (7-kilometre) path, the pilot will inform you about the towns you fly over and share insights on how the residents adapt to the challenging terrain.

Weather permitting, you may even have the chance to control the paraglider under the guidance of the pilot!
