Feel like a bird in the middle of the mountains - For a first experience, everything is in place to make it go as smoothly as possible. Laura comes to pick you up from whatever hotel you are staying in, she arrives with a smile from ear to ear, you know that afterward the rest of the adventure can only go well. For my part, I had never done paragliding, they put you in the best conditions by explaining to you how it will take place so that you have no fear. The instructors are very professional, during the entire flight, they listen to you and help you discover the beauties that reside in the Chicamocha Canyon, it is breathtaking. For such a price, it's worth it, don't deprive yourself of that ;)

The best birthday present - It was a very nice experience, exciting, fun and with a lot of adrenaline... the guides (Hugo and Yosimar) were very professional because they supported me when they should, they advised me in a timely manner to achieve the experience that it was and they shared with me some of their knowledge about the region that made a moment that I will remember for a lifetime. Wonderful!

Great and safe tour for first timers and experienced paragliders - We had a great time paragliding over the canyon with some fantastic views! You have about 20-30 minutes in the air. Due to the thermals you can reach attitudes high above the mountains if the conditions are good enough. Optional to go 'extreme', as we were first timers we did not do this however and it was fine. Thanks to Hugo and his team!

Super fun experience! - Super fun experience! I found it very exciting beforehand because I was afraid of heights. But I felt very comfortable with the paraglider Hugo. The place and the view are truly indescribable! And the experience is very special. The service from the company is also top notch. You will be picked up at the hotel and taken away again. The people are very friendly! :)
