Paragliding on Gran Canary

Paragliding means flying like a bird, which has been a dream of mankind since the beginning of time!

Nowadays we know different ways of super fast, motor-operated flying, some of us flew around the world, some to the moon, but flying without mechanical equipment, e. g. paragliding, is supposed to be especially beautiful and original. Whether you agree with this or not: This sport in dizzy height was made for exercising it on Gran Canary.

The location of the impressive island in the Atlantic Ocean with the breaking of the uprising trade winds at the mountain massif in the heart of Gran Canary is predestinated for paragliding. It is amazing and adventurous at the same time to discover the varied landscape of the island during a breathtaking paraglide flight, e. g. when starting at the steep coast close to Los Giles at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Las Coloradas, also close to Las Palmas.

Not only experienced extreme sports athletes take their chance to explore the island via paragliding. Paragliding schools provide competent support to learn this sport. Also you will make friends when exchanging experiences about the flight adventures.
Who wants to discover the adrenaline of paragliding, should try a tandem flight. Due to the bird´s eye perspective you will discover new things over and over again, e. g. unique woods and  hidden bathing bays.
Paragliding on Gran Canary means fun because the climate is constantly perfect for flying. The infrastructure of the island with rental car companies also contributes to a easy transportaion of the equipment.
