Paragliding

 

You are flying above the Canary Islands, gliding suspended in the air high above them. From the sky you can see, with a bird’s eye view, the volcanic beauty of these islands. A wave of sensations and indescribable emotions floods through you at the sight of this marvellous setting. Parapenting in the Canaries is a unique, almost mystical experience. You are living the dream of many people, flying and putting yourself at the will of the wind, and you are doing it in the best sky, the sky of the Canary Islands.

Your aim is to fly, to go further and to let your imagination run wild – even beyond logic; this is part of the incredible adventure that is waiting for you when you go parapenting in the Canary Islands. Here you can really make your dreams come true, and in the Canaries, the dream of being able to fly is no exception, because in the islands many people enjoy this sport, which means it is easy to find schools and groups of people who, like you, want to make their dream come true of flying alongside the birds.

The contrast of landscapes in the Canaries means that the skies of the islands are coloured by the parapentes that float on the breeze without causing any harm to the environment. The geographical conditions of the archipelago and the excellent climate mean it is possible to enjoy this experience at any time of the year.

In the Canaries you can go parapenting with an individual flight or as a double flight or tandem, and thanks to the variety of conditions to be found in the seven islands, you can choose between dynamic flights, from hillsides or with thermals. In the Canaries you can make long flights off dynamic slopes with great ease and safety, as well as two-seater flights, flights in paramotor and distance flights from different take-off spots in each of the islands. Here you will find schools and experienced parapentists who can teach you how to enjoy this magnificent sport, or help you to improve your flight technique.

The Canary Islands, islands for dreaming and flying.
