5.00This was my first paragliding experience and I'm super glad to have done it with Parapente San Gil! Everyone was extremely friendly and professional, from booking to transport to the pilots. I felt very safe throughout and they even added some spins for extra adrenaline! I would recommend to everyone no matter how experienced at Paragliding
Fantastic experience!

5.00This activity was super fun and beautiful! As someone who is afraid of heights, paragliding is an activity worth doing. You don't experience the terrifying dropping feeling in your belly and the ride is smooth and surprisingly relaxing unless you ask your pilot to do tricks! The pilots are also super experienced and well trained so don't freak out about safety! Also, motion sickness is a risk!
Unique experience with a wonderful team 🧡

5.00One of the most beautiful days of my life! Perfect organization in advance and great help with booking by Laura. The drive to the canyon already with great views and the flight itself is just indescribably beautiful 😍 Nature is so unique and the whole team makes sure that you can just drop and enjoy every second! I just wish many people that they can experience this feeling and thank Laura and her team for the unique day. I will think about it a lot and just have a happy smile on my face 😊

5.00It was fantastic!! Felt like a bird soaring above the canyon with beautiful views. A car picks you up from your hostel and gives you a beautiful drive through the mountains to your site as well. The instructor, Julian, was really nice, friendly and capable. And I lost my camera as well but they helped me find it immediately!! Best service and experience I've had, great experience and even better customer service. Cannot recommend it enough!!
Experience 10/10!!
