Itinerary

Welcome at Buenavista's Main Square. Here we confirm your booking, sign the informed consent form, and weigh you to assign the right pilot based on wind conditions.

Transfer by 4x4 or specialized vehicle from the square to the takeoff site. On the way up, you'll enjoy a stunning view of the town and the surrounding coffee fields.

Arrival at the takeoff site. Your certified pilot will fit your harness and helmet. You'll get clear instructions on how to take off (just walk or jog a few steps!) and how to sit comfortably once you're in the air.

Takeoff! Enjoy 10 to 15 minutes of silent gliding (weather permitting). You'll soar over a "sea of green" made up of bamboo groves and coffee farms. If conditions allow, the pilot may perform a few gentle maneuvers for extra thrills.

Smooth landing in the designated area. Return to Buenavista's main square. Here we'll explain how your photos and edited video will be sent (via WeTransfer) so you can share your adventure right away.

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Our pilots are certified by the Colombian Air Sports Federation, our equipment is fully maintained, and a specialized medical assistance policy covers you from the moment you board the transport until you land.

Safety is our priority. If the wind is too strong or it's raining, we have to wait for conditions to improve. If the weather prevents the flight altogether, we'll reschedule or find the best solution according to our policies.

We recommend wearing long pants, a windbreaker jacket (it's cold up there), and closed-toe shoes with good grip (sneakers or boots). Avoid sandals or shoes that could easily fall off.

For safety reasons, handling loose items during the flight is not allowed (they can fall or get tangled in the lines). The tour already includes a 3-minute video and 25 photos taken with professional equipment secured to the pilot.

Thanks to our partnership with Quindío Aventurero, part of the fee for every flight goes toward funding spay/neuter campaigns and medical care for stray dogs and cats in Buenavista. You fly and you help!

There is no strict age limit, as long as the person meets the minimum weight of 18 kg, can follow basic instructions, and can walk during takeoff.
