Colombia · PARAGLIDING FLIGHTS
Most launches sit on the ridges above Medellín and the Chicamocha canyon, and flights go in the morning before the wind builds. These 15 are compared on airtime, whether photos and video are included, and transport from town.

“This was a wonderful experience. Great communication prior to the event, the taxi picked me up exactly at 9am and we drove straight there. The check-in ladies were welcoming and Hellen took a great video of me taking off. My pilot, Emer?, was friendly and professional. The flight was enjoyable and he did some acrobatics at the end that gave me adrenaline!! love all the GoPro pictures. I def recommend!!!”

“My host for the tour assisted me with transportation to and from the location for a fee but it was totally worth it as the location is about and hour from Provenza Medellín. The driver was kind and the sweetest and my pilot Santiago was great also! I felt completely safe! It was a once in a life time experience. I can’t explain it to you, you just have to experience it for yourself. This was a 10/10 experience and I’d totally do it again.”

“This experience is a must do, so much fun and so beautiful! All the paragliding pilots are lovely and the staff were great, really made you feel at ease. It is a bit of waiting around as you fly according to weight, so bring a sun hat and a book or something to do and also water&snacks! Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, absolutely fantastic day!”

“This your is divided into 3 parts. 1. Paragliding - we were the first to arrive at the location for paragliding, but to our surprise, the place was extremely foggy! We waited for a bit, and thankfully the fog started to clear up. The paragliding pilots made quick use of the opportunity and the activity got underway. My wife took part in this while I say it out, but she definitely enjoyed herself. 2. El Peñol - this was the second part of the tour. Be warned, be you have to be in decent physical shape to climb those rocks. This part was a workout, phew! But, with many breaks…”

“I was in Medellin for a retreat, but prior to the retreat I had a couple days to explore Medellin. I found the company, Camantours Medellin and saw they had some great options for a city tour and paragliding so I decided to give them a try. The experience exceeded all my expectations. I was connected on Whatsapp with Camilo who answers all my questions and got me connected with Joshua who was my private tour guide for the day. He took me up to the paragliding and then to the city tour right afterwards. The paragliding was simply amazing. I have previously been skydiving and ziplining, but I have…”
