Paragliding in Valle de Bravo: 30-minute flight over the lake

Fly tandem over the lake and protected forest of Valle de Bravo

Paragliding in Valle de Bravo is a tandem flight with a professional instructor over the town, lake and Monte Alto national park, lasting 90 minutes including transport, equipment setup and a 30-minute flight. You launch from the top of Monte Alto and land in a garden next to the lake near the meeting point. Photos and video of your flight are included; the guide speaks English or Spanish.

The Experience

Transport takes you from the meeting point up to Monte Alto, a protected federal reserve where the takeoff happens. From the top, you and your instructor launch into the air and fly for 30 minutes crossing the park, watching the lake and downtown Valle de Bravo spread below. The flight path passes over residential areas and the natural landscape of the reserve itself—the views shift as you move across the terrain rather than staying fixed on one spot.

Landing happens in a large garden next to the lake, close to where you started. The whole experience—transport, gear fitting, safety briefing and the flight itself—runs about 90 minutes. A professional instructor flies with you the entire time, and photos and video of the flight are captured and included.
