Thanks for your recommendation, and for that description on our tour
This trip was great from start to finish. Our driver, Cesar, picked us up at the hotel in Medellin and was happy to give us a tour of the neighborhoods we were traveling through on our way to the departure point. He was also super helpful for other recommendations in the Medellin area for food/drinks/etc. For the actual paragliding, the team made the experience extremely simple and we were up and flying over Medellin within a few minutes after arriving at the location. Juan was a great host, taking my wife and I for 10-15 minute flights over Medellin with pictures and videos included. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who is considering a slightly more exciting way to experience the views of Medellin!
We appreciate your words, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Medellin
Pick up was on time. Our driver, Daniel, was an excellent conversationalist in English and Spanish. We felt safe and comfortable when we arrived. Equipment was great and “pilots” were well trained. I get motion sickness easily and should have taken medicine to prepare (that was my own fault) so we had to land a bit early at a location at the bottom. Despite feeling really nauseous I felt safe and my pilot bought me some water and I rested in the shade as I waited for my friend to finish. We had to go one at a time (tandem). My friend had Mateo as her pilot and she said she felt so safe and welcomed by him. The driver stayed with us, and this price included transportation back to the starting point. I would recommend this company. Thanks for taking care of me!
Thanks, we are glad everything turned up well. Safety, confort and good experiences!
Silvio was our guide for the tour and was absolutely amazing, he brought us to a local restaurant in his neighbourhood which was delicious after we paraglided. The tour company was super accommodating regarding changes in the itinerary too! Would 100% recommend the company and Silvio!!!

My driver Cesar was amazing. Gave me great information about the city and history of Colombia. Paragliding was great. My pilot Diego was nice, fun, and made the experience awesome. Worth the money!
We are glad you had fun and this experience met your expectations, this is the best tip and incentive for us. We are glad you flew back to your country with a better perspective of Colombia. Thanks a lot and hope to see you again!
