You can’t call yourself a thrill seeker and not seek our epic Paragliding in Medellin tour. This tour embodies sightseeing and adventure in ways that very few activities do. Take in the spectacular views of the Aburra Valley with a GoPro lodged on to your helmet take stunning pics and videos.
Paragliding is an activity best done in the morning (between 9am and 12pm) and best done on an empty stomach. For those unaware, paragliding is the activity of gliding through the air with a kite like object on top of you. You’re also not sent up there by yourself. Unless you’ve got your own equipment and license, a professional will take off with you attached and steer the parachute up in the air. The activity is safe, fast and fun.
With paragliding in Medellin, we’ll confirm weather conditions in the early morning, pick you up at 9am and head over to San Felix, 45 minutes away from Medellin. There, at one of the highest peaks, you’ll meet your instructor and witness the barrage of people that spend the day hanging out watching others fly. Your instructor will go through a quick instruction and before you know it, you’re strapped and ready to fly.
Be sure to upgrade to the Gopro experience. Trust me, as a novice you’ll want to get this on film. Show your family back home you spent your mornings in Medellin wisely.
Paragliding in Medellin is best enjoyed by small groups looking to make the best out of their mornings in paradise and get the best possible views.
