About this flight
San Félix is a rural area up in the hills of the San Cristóbal district, west of Medellín, and one of the valley's best-known paragliding takeoff points. From up there, in tandem with a certified pilot, you see the city and its mountains spread out like a green carpet below your feet.
The operator has been flying this same spot for 20 years and holds a tourism quality seal. You always fly tandem — no previous experience needed, the pilot keeps control of the paraglider and safety gear throughout.
There are two plans by flight duration, and the service includes photo and video coverage. Round-trip transport from your hotel to San Félix is a separate cost, charged apart from the flight itself.
