Overview

This is a once-in-a-lifetime paragliding experience over one of the highest capital cities in the world. Travelers take off from the Teleférico area at approximately 4,100 meters above sea level and fly over Quito, descending toward Parque La Carolina with breathtaking views of the Andes, the city skyline, and surrounding volcanoes.

Few places in the world allow you to soar from the mountains over a capital city and land in the heart of the urban landscape. With a 1,300-meter vertical drop, 15 to 20 minutes of flight time, certified bilingual pilots, homologated safety equipment, and 360° video with 30 high-resolution photos included, this is one of the most unique adventure experiences in Ecuador and South America.
