Testimonials
“I had a wonderful experience with Ruben and his staff . Ruben arranged for round trip transportation from El Poblado to the take off area. Weather could not have been better. Daniel, the pilot, was extremely confident and experienced. I felt very safe with him flying. The moment of take off is simply breathtaking. If you are going to try paragliding once, do it in Medellin, can’t beat the scenery.”
Besides the walking tours of Medellin and surrounding areas, I would highly recommend this activity. Skill level required is low! Just sit back and allow the expert flyers take you around the mountain. An amazing experience – I was flying with the birds! The whole family loved it!
Insane experience: we opted for the full package and our driver (Giovani) was very good, picked us up from hotel and super funny to chat with along the way. Felt safe and very secure, the experience was amazing! It was my first time paragliding and I want do it again. I felt like a bird in the sky. Thanks for an amazing experience. I hope to return one day! Muchas gracias a giovani también!

What is paramotor?
Paramotor is a paragliding flight that uses a small backpack motor to help propel you further, or take off from low ground, like a beach. To experience the joy of paramotoring, you must first complete a paramotor course. Note: it is not required to have any paragliding experience to complete the paramotor course. However, we only offer this course in Cartagena, because the beach provides an easier learning environment than the mountains of Medellin.
The course requires 5 hours of theory and 20 hours of practice to receive a certificate. You also must participate in a 20 minute tandem flight and ten solo flights. If you are interested in learning paramotor in Cartagena, please see our courses page for more information!
