Parapente Chicamocha — Attraction in San Gil

A well organized and extremely enjoyable activity. Well worth the money!

Top marks to Freddy our overall organiser, and Sergio and Alejandro the paragliding guides. Great clear instructions and made the experience really fun.

Parapente organized transport from our air bnb, arrived exactly when they said, and drove to the site.

Gave a very clear briefing, and told us roughly the order we would be going in, how many people etc. everything was just really well organized.

They provided water refills for us and coffee as well without plastic cups which we really appreciated for the environmental impact. Toilets at the site were compost toilets but clearly very well maintained and clean which can be tough for those types.

Equipment was all in really good condition. Instructors we're really great and adapted the journey based on the customer. They were all also really knowledgeable about the history, culture and wildlife of the area so you get a good tour as well as the experience!

We took the "adrenaline" option so you do some tricks in the air. My partner was a little scared so she asked to switch to the calmer option mid flight and they were happy to agree. I loved the tricks and added some good excitement to the experience.

I recommend bringing sunscreen to top up during the day as you will be waiting for a while but it won't be boring, the views from the waiting area are amazing.

Buying tickets in advance or just walk around the town square to find the office, either way works but this is off season, so in peak tourism maybe book in advance..

We booked go pros and everything in advance, but when we got to the waiting site they actually still offered for people to upgrade or downgrade and get refunds. It's...

Swift communication via WhatsApp and easy to book. I got picked up at the bus terminal as I was coming from Barichara. The bus ride was one hour longer than predicted, so it was a little hard to take seasickness tablets at the right time. The form that we had to fill out beforehand was very long and I felt that they required too much information (which I left blank). I don’t know if they really look at the forms, to be honest. The safety instructions were very clear. I also very much liked that besides the pilot they had an extra person to guide you for take off and landing. Unfortunately I did not feel well after a few minutes and we returned. The experience was amazing, albeit short. I still had to pay full price though. One more tip: tell people to bring some food for after the flight. Several of us were really hungry (as they tell you not to eat beforehand) and we did not get back...

A month ago I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to fly with these wonderful people. Taking off from the top edge of Chicamocha Canyon was beyond words. As soon as we were airborne, 100 meters above our launch pad, we were 1,000 meters above the canyon floor… and climbing. We flew for 45 unforgettable minutes, up to 3500 meters. (We climbed following the vultures , who instinctively knew where the thermal layers were in the atmosphere) The experience was the best part of the best vacation I’ve ever had. Book with them directly or go through Juan at ColoAdventures for an all-inclusive multi-sport adventure holiday. This is a remarkable experience with warm, friendly people. If I ever get back to Colombia, I’ll look them up and...
