El Quindío Paragliding Activity

At your chosen time, we'll see you in Plaza de Buenavista, in the municipality of the same name in the Quindío Department. We'll hop aboard our vehicle and head to the airstrip, located at 6,200 feet (1,890 metres) above sea level.

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

You can expect to spend 10 to 15 minutes flying over the Coffee Cultural Landscape, which is rich with coffee plantations, guaduas, and trumpet trees. During the 4-mile (7-kilometre) route, your pilot will identify the municipalities beneath and discuss local adaptations to the terrain.

Weather permitting, you may be able to manoeuvre the paraglider yourself following the pilot's guidance!
