Beschrijving
Go paragliding from the Sierra Nevada to the Caribbean Sea. This is one of the most fun and adrenaline-filled experiences in the world!
Paragliding is a fairly safe extreme sport.
Paragliding is a sport in which we glide as if it were a parachute, but it allows us to fly according to the air currents. To begin with, you need a sail or wing, which is similar to a parachute but specially designed to glide and maneuver.
This sail is attached with long lines to a chair or harness, so that the pilot is securely fastened during the flight. You must also wear a helmet and carry a basic emergency parachute. Additional gear includes a variometer, which indicates the vertical speed reached at all times, so you know whether you're going up or down.
Tips for paragliding with Santa Marta Trip
Fear is one of the reasons why people don't dare to go paragliding. This fear is often based on a lack of information. Therefore, as a first step, it is recommended that you ask all the questions you have, get well informed, and talk to those who know, that is, to experienced instructors and pilots.
Controlling your breathing, relaxing, and letting yourself go are the best tips anyone can give you before going paragliding. We could also add sleeping well the night before, not drinking alcohol, and eating light.
As for gear, you'll need comfortable, well-fitting shoes — to prevent them from coming off mid-flight — sunglasses, comfortable clothing, and sunscreen. Yes, because the air currents can also burn our skin. Lastly, we recommend that you choose the paragliding experience as a different kind of outing with your group of friends or family.
You'll have a great time!
