Highlights
  • El Poblado - At 8:00 am we will pick you up in Medellín and we will travel to the southwest of Antioquia. First, we will go to the airstrip, an incredible viewpoint from which you will be able to closely observe the clouds, the majesty of the mountains and a landscape that will take your breath away.
    After watching an explanatory video and safety instructions, you will fly through an amazing landscape while recording the entire experience. You will fly over an immense valley surrounded by mountain ranges and over the majestic Cauca River, the second most important in Colombia. You will take off from a mountain located 1,900 meters above sea level until you reach 600. We will pick you up to return to the viewpoint, there you can cool off and enjoy the view. The flights are carried out by instructors certified by the Colombian Air Sports Federation and include medical insurance.
    Then we will go to discover the beautiful town of Jericó, a typical Antioquian town surrounded by high mountains and coffee plantations. You will enjoy free time to have lunch, get lost in the streets and drink the best cup of coffee or a good beer before returning to Medellín.
    The experience depends on the weather, which can modify the itinerary.

A wonderful trip for a female solo traveler - The best tour I have ever taken! Luis and Simon were so nice, it was like taking a road trip with old friends. As a female solo traveler, good guides can “make or break” an experience — and they were both wonderful! We were a little nervous the weather wouldn’t hold out for “parapente”, but I still wanted to see Jerico and would’ve still had a great time. Luckily — I was able to paraglide once the clouds moved. It was a great day with two new friends :) thank you Luis and Simon! And Ronald (I believe), who was the name of my flight instructor. He was also super nice and told me a little about where he is from in Venezuela on the walk back after landing. I felt very safe and confident in his abilities. Finally… when they say “don’t stop running” … don’t stop running 😅

A very neat tour - A very neat tour, in fact, a gem. With its yin/yang approach, paragliding offers excitement and action, while Jerico offers a leisurely walk through a stunningly beautiful town. It is epic too, considering they fit both activities in a day on a tour that requires at least a two hours drive each way from Medellin. But you get to see that part of the country. You can't go wrong with this one.

Great Tour - What a great tour! It is very cool, the flight is amazing with a beautiful view over a huge river and the best way to end the tour is the most beautiful Colombian tour! There is a lot of stores in the town were you can buy a lot of souvenirs and eat delicious food and drink one of the best coffees of the word! Very recommended

INCREDIBLE DAY!! - Can not recommend this enough!! I had Sergio and Simon with me as guides and they are so lovely 🥰 The town of Jericho is beautiful. It wasn’t a touristy place so lovely to experience a town full of locals. Simon knows so much about the history and culture so I learnt heaps. I was shown all their favourite spots, including the botanical gardens and a church. The paragliding was also incredible. The flight seemed to last ages and the view itself was incredible. Much better than you’d get if doing it in Medellín. You fly across a huge landscape and river, you can see for miles. The pilot was really friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I also got to borrow a go pro and got some really cool videos/ photos from it. Overall, I had a lovely day and so pleased that I booked, particularly as I got to meet both the guys. They are so lovely, it was like hanging out with two friends for the day with the added bonus of learning all about Columbia! They happily flexed the day to be centred around the things that I was interested in too. Don’t miss out on this one 🙏

One of the best tours I have ever taken! - One of the best tours I have ever taken! The paragliding was great. I felt very safe and the staff was very professional and fun. The views up there are perfect, much better than any paragliding around Medellin. Then the tour of Jericho is incredible. One of the most unique towns I have ever seen and I've spent almost 2 years traveling in south america. The drive was amazing as well, really appreciated the entire experience

Breathtaking experience plus a fun day in Jerico - A truly amazing experience from start to finish. The best part was how well the guides take care of you. Sergio and Susana were flexible and attentive; the weather wasn't quite cooperating for the jump so we went to Jerico before instead of after which was a huge help. We stopped for lunch and toured the town which was great for handmade leather if you're interested. The jump itself was one of the most beautiful things to experience and once its over Sergio and Susana pick you up and drive you home through the mountains. Can't say enough good things about them!
