FAQ

Common Questions

Is paragliding in Colombia safe?
Yes — when you fly with a certified operator. Look for pilots with FEDEAEREOS certification, proper tandem gear inspection records, and strong review histories. All operators we recommend meet these standards.
How much does paragliding cost in Medellín?
Tandem flights from San Félix typically cost $55 USD for 15 minutes, $70 for 20 minutes, and up to $105 for 30 minutes. GoPro video/photo packages are usually $15 extra. Some budget operators offer basic 15-minute flights from around $40. Transport from El Poblado adds $8-30 depending on the operator.
Do I need experience?
None at all. Tandem flights mean you're strapped to a certified pilot who handles everything. You just need to run a few steps at launch and enjoy the ride.
What should I wear?
Closed-toe shoes (sneakers are perfect), long pants, and a light jacket for altitude. Avoid sandals, skirts, or loose scarves. Sunglasses help with glare.
What if the weather is bad?
Reputable operators will cancel or reschedule if conditions aren't safe — this is a good sign, not a bad one. Morning flights tend to have the calmest conditions.
