PARAGLIDING CUSCO

Paragliding Cusco is a group of experienced paragliding pilots flying the Andes of Cusco. We’ve learnt paragliding is about patience. We do our best to give our passengers the best experience ever from the moment we tell people what to bring and how to be dressed until we drop them off back at their hotels.

Taking care of our paragliding gear is at the same time so important, so we have certified paragliders and harnesses to guarantee quality of service. !Make sure the pilot has an emergency parachute on his harness before flying!

We believe if we give our passengers the best, we can be the best!

FAQ’S

How long does it take to go paragliding?

In ideal conditions, this activity just requieres half the day. We leave Cusco city in the morning around 07:00 hrs and return by 13:00 hrs. Afternoon departures are scheduled for 14:00 hrs. However we schedule these afternoon flights usually from November to April due to strong winds during the dry season. If you’d like to fly in the afternoon but you’re coming during the other months, contact us first to check weather forecasts.

Please, remember paragliding is about patience. We wait for the best conditions in order to fly. There’s no rush in this activity. The point is to keep it safe.

Sometimes the waiting time can go longer. So, let us know if you have some other activities scheduled for the rest of the day, as tours or flights out.

Do I need previous experience?

Since you fly together with a professional pilot, there’s no need for previous experience as you go as a passenger. Safety briefing will be given anyway at the flying spot.

How long does the flight itself last?

The tandem paragliding flight can last from 7 to 30 minutes. It obviously depends on weather conditions & on the package you’ve selected. But at the same time, it depends on how you’re feeling. Some people experience dizziness or nauseas. If you have not had any troubles with altitude, so there’s no any worries. You can select the package you’d like to fly with at the purchasing process.

We fly all around the year and to tell the truth there’s small chance to cancel our operations due to weather conditions since we just need -1 hour good conditions- in average.
