Paragliding in San Gil - The paragliding was really well organised, felt super safe and it was a surprisingly relaxing environment! The staff helped everyone feel in good hands. Thanks to Laura for the photos too and the safe drive back to San gil :)

Do not hesitate! A wonder unlike anything! - It was safe, easy, beautiful, and stunning to float amongst the clouded, over the canyon and be one with the birds. I talked 5 people into doing it when I landed. All were fearful or afraid of heights etc. when done they were exuberant and so grateful they went.

The closest feeling to being a bird - 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.

Good times - It was a great experience to fly with dem! Laura managed the whole thing very good. She and her whole family is very kind and welcoming. If you are looking for good place to stay in San Gil than check out "This is Colombia" Hostel. Its just next door to Paragliding San Gil.

Amazing experience and customer service - The service was amazing. They far exceeded my expectations. I wanted to celebrate my birthday flying over the canyon and they gave extra time and by the time of landing they received me with a happy birthday banner. That was special. 🙏🥰

Breathtaking views & incredible team. - 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)!

Amazing views !! Being in the air just isn’t for me. 🤢 - Amazing views !! Being in the air just isn’t for me. I got sick in the air and then on the ground for an hour I felt very uneasy. But definitely worth a first try !! Not scary at all.
