Paragliding Holiday Tours

Extra Curricular Adventures around the world

Colombia Italy

Colombia, South America

This is an outstanding winter trip, we've been there four times over the last five years when Northern Europe is still dark and cold! Our winter fortnight trip abroad will be all about thermalling and Xc. A positive improvement in politics in Colombia has meant it is super safe and offers great Xc routes, well trodden by the recent world championships. There should be abundant opportunity to get some Xc flying at every opportunity and get to know what is one of the most friendly and beautiful countries in South America.

All pilots and the driver have FlyMaster Gps trackers to help with quick retrieves. Our first stop will be a hotel with a pool, most of the accommodation can often be farmhouses boasting pools and BBQ facilities. Breakfast will be included in most places you just need to find lunch and dinner.

Who can come? - Pilots who have done some thermalling, conditions are generally pretty mellow, so if you've achieved some good flying with us in Algo or elsewhere you'll be joining the XC dots in no time with two FlySpain Instructors on hand to guide you

  • Reliable South American weather for outstanding flying abroad over winter
  • Superb First Xc possibilities
  • Full Aircon retrieve vehicle and driver on hand
  • Fully tracked with FlyMaster trackers
  • Two weeks of glorious winter paragliding
  • Colombian Tour of world-famous flying sites
  • Avoid most of February and take to the Skies with us

Tis year we had a balzing fortnight in Piedechince, next year we will add a new location for the second week .Name of the game is airtime in one of Winter's most reliable thermal hotspots.
