Paragliding over Medellin: Photos and videos included

Fly tandem over waterfalls and valleys with a pilot who has over a decade of experience

Paragliding over Medellin is a tandem flight from the San Felix Mountains, 35 minutes from the city, where you fly with a certified pilot over the Aburrá Valley, its waterfalls, dams and viewpoints. The flight lasts 15 minutes and includes photos and videos of the flight. Guides speak English and Spanish, and children from age 5 are welcome.

The experience

You launch from the San Felix Mountains with a certified pilot who has more than 10 years of experience and internationally approved equipment. The flight takes you over the Aburrá Valley, where you see waterfalls, dams and viewpoints from the air: moments the pilot captures in photos and videos that you take home. The whole experience is built around safety and adrenaline at once: the team's track record and gear mean you can focus on what's in front of you instead of worrying about what's holding you up.

The flight itself runs 15 minutes. Guides speak both English and Spanish, so language is not a barrier. Children from age 5 can fly, which means families can share the experience together. The mountains sit 35 minutes from Medellin, close enough that you're not spending half the day on the road.

What’s included
