This experience was quite exhilarating and a definite must do when in Medellin. The transportation from the city to San Felix was well coordinated and we were well received by tour receptionist upon arrival. My pilot Camilo was exceptional, he pointed out areas of interest and kept checking on me to ensure I was having a good experience. As it was my birthday and I chose to spend it paragliding, upon my return I was welcomed back with a brownie and a candle and a feliz cumpleaños banner for us to take photos. All in all this was a very memorable experience and I would not hesitate to recommend BLUE SKY PARAPENTE.

Very friendly driver & nice experience with the paragliding! Instructor was very kind & made sure I had a nice ‘flight’. The car ride was long & paragliding very quick But the driver was the best part!

They were very punctual picking us up. They explained exactly what they were going to do before they did anything. We landed and took off from the same spot, so very convenient. Landing and take off were both quiet easy as they help on taking off and you just sit to land. The equipment and the instructors both seem top notch. The only challenge, but still fine was that you have to walk up a couple of hundred steps to where you start. We loved it and would highly recommend it.
