General information:
Paragliding is a fun and exciting air sport. An experienced commercial pilot, licensed by the FAI and APVL, will take you on a journey that will allow you to soar above the sacred valley like a condor, and experience the beauty of the Inca Empire’s landscape from the sky. A light breakfast is recommended beforehand.
The flight zone is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, about 45 minutes outside of Cusco. You will take off at an altitude of approximately 3,600 to 3,800 meters and then reach heights of up to 5,800m while paragliding. Your actual flight time will depend on weather conditions and the pilots will do their best even in less than ideal weather conditions (wind, air, clouds, etc.). You do not need to have any previous experience; all you will have to do is run for take-off.
