At your chosen time, we'll see you in Plaza de Buenavista. We'll then proceed to the airstrip, located at 6,200 feet (1,890 metres) above sea level. Upon arrival, pilots will explain the specific safety protocols and recommendations for take-off and landing. After donning harnesses and helmets, it will be time for take-off!

You will spend 10 to 15 minutes flying over the Coffee Cultural Landscape. This area is rich with crops such as coffee plantations, guaduas, and trumpet trees. During the 4-mile (7-kilometre) route, the pilot will highlight the municipalities you pass through and explain how locals adapt to the rugged landscape. If weather conditions are favorable, you will have the opportunity to manoeuvre the paraglider yourself.
