Paragliding Mendoza: Panoramic Flight Over City & Precordillera

Fly over Mendoza and see the city and mountains from above

A paragliding flight in Mendoza gives you the freedom to soar over the city and precordillera with a live guide in English or Spanish. You'll spend about four hours total, including transport to the launch site, the flight itself, and the return. The experience includes photos and video of your flight, and pickup is built in.

The experience

Mendoza's geography (the city spreading across a valley with the Andes rising to the east) makes it ideal for paragliding. You'll be driven in an air-conditioned vehicle to the launch site in the foothills, where your guide briefs you on what to expect. The flight itself is the core of the experience: you'll be harnessed to an experienced pilot who handles the glider while you experience the sensation of flight and take in the panoramic view of the city below and the precordillera ridges around you.

The whole outing runs about four hours from pickup to return. Weather is the deciding factor. The operator depends on it completely, which is why they recommend doing this early in your stay rather than banking on it for a specific day. Conditions can shift, and a flight might be postponed or rescheduled. Photos and video of your flight are included, so you'll have a record of what you saw from the air.

Children from age eight are welcome. The activity is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns, though it suits all other fitness levels. A live guide in English or Spanish is with you throughout, and your pickup is included in the booking.
