At first wife n I were very nervous. Very friendly and experience pilots. Once u are in the air, it is an amazing rush. The view from on top of the mountains is a unique once in a life time experience. So calm n relaxing. Was way easier n less scary 😨 then I thought. Wife who is scare if height, enjoy it. Staff was amazing and friendly. Huge animal lovers. They have a few doggies.

Great experience! I went solo and met a handful of cool, new folks that made the trip even better. Straightforward and professional experience. The bus picked us up in the Parque Lleras neighborhood and took us out to the launch site. You can purchase go pro pics/videos for a low price (which I highly recommend you do). My pilot was friendly and had me at ease the entire time. If you're thinking about it...just do it.

Two of us did this. My friend is severely afraid of heights and even she admitted she would do it again. Amazing experience flying over waterfall and mountainside

It was a great excuse. Very well organised and felt very safe. The take off and landing were well performed. The instructors really know what they are doing. Highly recommend

Overall experience was good 👍🏾 and I had lots of fun 🤩 and our instructor was amazing 😻. We were well looked after by the staff, I would highly recommend the tour. Just note that there are steps to take to walk up to the site to get the equipment out on. It took us about 30-45mins to talk, maybe you’ll be faster 😂

I would've given 5 stars, but we ran into an issue. One of the people with our group rented the gopro, but after her flight, they realized it hadn't recorded. So, they let her fly again. No problem. However, the weather changed and she ended up landing in the city instead of back on the launch pad. Still, no problem. Here's the problem. Instead of taking us down to her, for whatever reason, they made us wait for her to be taxied up the mountain. Mind you, we still had to go down anyway when she got to us. We waited HOURS. There was zero communication while this was going on. Her brother (who did speak Spanish and tried to communicate with the driver) got nothing. The driver told us 5 more minutes many times. What started out as a perfect experience turned so quickly. Things happen. But the lack of communication was inexcusable. At the very least, we could've been offered a partial refund. Many in our group had other things planned that afternoon that they missed due to the wait. Again, I have no idea why we waited.

I did the paragliding tour which was great and the graffiti walking tour straight after. Since I was late coming back from paragliding Julia rang me while on the way back to tell me to get off the bus and meet the rest of the group so I wouldn’t miss out. She gave me exact directions and instructions on what to do how to get the train and where and stayed online on WhatsApp until I was reunited. Made me feel very safe and comfortable in a city I’m not familiar with! And the tour itself was excellent too. Laura is very passionate and knowledgeable and kept checking up on me since I felt sick while paragliding which was also greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend!
