Incredible experience! I...
Incredible experience! I would give more than 5 stars if I could. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and very safe. We spent plenty of time in the air flying next to eagles AND rainbows overlooking the Tungurahua Volcano, Patate and Pelileo! Adrenaline, fun and beauty all wrapped up in one package. Book it

I came to Ecuador on a family trip from New York and decided to try the Paragliding Tandem Tour in Baños, even though I had never done anything like that before. It ended up being one of the best experiences of the whole trip. The views from the air were incredible—you can see the mountains, the town, and the surrounding landscape all at once. Our pilot was funny, engaging, attentive, and really made me feel safe the entire time. If you’re visiting Baños and want something exciting with amazing views, I definitely recommend this experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
This was his first time hand gliding and my third time hand gliding, and we both had an amazing experience. You’re transported to the flying site and once you get there, you have nothing to worry about at all. The guides are very knowledgeable and also super helpful. They had a selfie stick for you to put your phone in and I was freezing cold and one of them even pulled out a coat from their bag to give it to me. They make sure you understand the safety measures and the instructions so you feel comfortable before and during the flight. The flight lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, which was more than enough time to overlook the beautiful view of Baños & beyond. I had an amazing time, and my brother has an amazing time. Whether you’re a beginner or expert, this is definitely a tour you’re gonna want to do in Banos.
Operator response

The best view in all of Ecuador!
I am so glad I booked this experience with Migel and Ariel! I had an incredible time with them. There was another woman on the tour with me and she went first. We were told exactly what to do during take off and landing and everything went smoothly. When it was my turn to go, Migel was watching the wind like a bird. We were all strapped in waiting for about 3 minutes before Migel said “let’s try again in a few minutes”. Apparently the wind was too strong but my untrained senses couldn’t detect any difference. I happily waited for safer conditions and when the wind calmed, we went up and soared with the birds for about 15 magical moments. I felt so safe with them. It was truly an incredible experience.

Best view seeing Ecuador from the sky.
Great experience with Santiago and the entire crew. Incredible views and super professional guide. Pickup was on time, we drove about 45 minutes out of town to the jump site. There we discussed safety measurements and prepped for the jump. Spent 20 +/- minutes flying above the hills. Bring warm clothes as it can get very cold up in the air.
