It was fantastic!! Felt like a bird soaring above the canyon with beautiful views. A car picks you up from your hostel and gives you a beautiful drive through the mountains to your site as well. The instructor, Julian, was really nice, friendly and capable. And I lost my camera as well but they helped me find it immediately!! Best service and experience I've had, great experience and even better customer service. Cannot recommend it enough!!

Muy divertido!!!

Alison_C, Feb 2026

This was so amazing it almost didn’t seem real! We literally soared with the birds. The staff was great and made things simple to understand and we felt very safe! Julien (my pilot) had such great energy. The rest of the crew was so fun to hang out with. I would recommend this to everyone and I would definitely do it again.

Spectacular experience. I have paraglided in Europe and New Zealand and this experience was on par with those and in some ways surpassed it. Well worth coming to San Gil just to do this.

Hello, we're glad to hear that someone who has flown several times enjoyed the flight with us so much. Thank you for sharing this experience with us and making it part of your trip.

A great morning paragliding

Daniel_K, Jan 2025

This is a really great paragliding experience. It’s the first time me and my wife had ever done it and we had a great time. The instructors made us feel really secure and the operation was smooth. We paid for the additional video / photo service and we got some really nice stuff through as a memory of the experience. I’d highly recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi guys, We are happy to read your experience and we feel honored to be part of your first flight, thank you for trusting us and we appreciate your opinion :)

The closest feeling to being a bird

Justin, Dec 2023

An incredibly fun experience from start to finish. I have never paraglide before but can't think of a more beautiful place than Chicamocha Canyon in Santander.

Go Paragliding!!!

Gabriela_V, Nov 2023

Definitely recommend paragliding! It was so thrilling and the view of the canyon is simply memorizing!

Veey nice experience!

Celia_E, Aug 2023

Very nice experience. Our guides were really nice and fun and professional! It was the first time that I did paragliding and they prepared me well. 100% would do it again with them when I'm in San gil again.

Breathtaking views & incredible team.

Sujin_K, Jul 2023

What an incredible experience with the friendliest and most thoughtful staff! The views were breathtaking and the ride itself was exhilarating. The team is very careful and makes sure you’re ok from beginning to end, and will also make it more exciting if you want it to be (which I did)!
