Amazing Views of Medellin! - This trip was great from start to finish. Our driver, Cesar, picked us up at the hotel in Medellin and was happy to give us a tour of the neighborhoods we were traveling through on our way to the departure point. He was also super helpful for other recommendations in the Medellin area for food/drinks/etc.
For the actual paragliding, the team made the experience extremely simple and we were up and flying over Medellin within a few minutes after arriving at the location. Juan was a great host, taking my wife and I for 10-15 minute flights over Medellin with pictures and videos included.
I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who is considering a slightly more exciting way to experience the views of Medellin!

Awesome first experience! Felt safe and comfortable. - Pick up was on time. Our driver, Daniel, was an excellent conversationalist in English and Spanish. We felt safe and comfortable when we arrived. Equipment was great and “pilots” were well trained. I get motion sickness easily and should have taken medicine to prepare (that was my own fault) so we had to land a bit early at a location at the bottom. Despite feeling really nauseous I felt safe and my pilot bought me some water and I rested in the shade as I waited for my friend to finish. We had to go one at a time (tandem). My friend had Mateo as her pilot and she said she felt so safe and welcomed by him. The driver stayed with us, and this price included transportation back to the starting point. I would recommend this company. Thanks for taking care of me!

Words Can't Describe! - Wow! And experience and view I will never forget! Carlos was my transportation/guide, and he was prompt, bilingual and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with! The paragliding was safe and indescribable! Once Carlos and I were returning to El Poblado, he knew I was traveling alone, and made it a point to drive me around my hotel area so that I could familiarize myself with the layout and we stopped and enjoyed a coffee and chat in Parque Lleras. Highly recommend!
