Paragliding Tandem Flight over the Sacred Valley

Overview
For thousands of years, man has dreamt about flying…. Have you read that sort of thing a few times before?
Well, these days many people are coming very close to that often-expressed yearning by leaning into the wind, taking a few steps, and then gently parting company with the land of the Incas under their feet… and perhaps a few minutes later turning into the rising warm air of a thermal and eventually rise, until you are just a peck, high up and far away in the domains of the Condor. Just pausing here to let you indulge in that incredible daydream for a few more moments…..
Welcome to the exhilarating sport of paragliding (known as parapente in many countries) over the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Be amazed by the idea that what you can experiment with in a real aircraft can just be equally induced by a stuffed backpack that you can take anywhere, anyhow, at any time.

Full Itinerary
At 08:00 am in the morning, we will start our adventurous trip and travel to the area of Chinchero in the upper hills of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We will get there early to catch the rising thermals wafting up the valley walls. These are the same thermals the condors use to lift themselves up to the sky! In the flying zone, the pilot will give you instructions, talk to you about the actual weather conditions and demonstrate to you how the equipment works. We prepare the parapent and wait for the perfect moment to take off. We run and jump over the edge of the hill – once in the air, you will have the most amazing view of the valley and the landscapes, for example, the beautiful Huaypo lagoon. You will be in the air for about 15 to 30 minutes, reaching incredible altitudes. After this incredible experience, we land and get back to Cusco in the afternoon.
Please note that the activity depends on the weather, so you might need a full day as the last chance to fly is around 04:00 pm.
