El Quindío Paragliding Activity

At your chosen time, meet us in Plaza de Buenavista in the municipality of Buenavista, Quindío Department. We will travel to the airstrip located at 6,200 feet (1,890 metres) above sea level.

Upon arrival, the pilots will explain the safety protocols and recommendations for take-off and landing. You will be equipped with harnesses and helmets before taking to the skies!

You will spend 10 to 15 minutes flying over the Coffee Cultural Landscape, which features coffee plantations, guaduas, and trumpet trees. During the 4-mile (7-kilometre) route, the pilot will provide information about the municipalities you pass through and how locals have adapted to the landscape.

Weather permitting, you may follow the pilot's instructions to manoeuvre the paraglider yourself!
