Experience Description

This adventure starts early in the morning with pick-up from your hotel or an agreed meeting point in Cusco. From there, we head to the district of Chinchero, located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Along the way, we make a brief stop (in Chinchero or Izcuchaca) for personal purchases such as snacks, drinks, or basic necessities.

Upon arriving at Cerro Sacro, a mountain well known for its optimal free-flight conditions, the scenery will amaze you: a natural viewpoint with spectacular valley views, distant snow-capped peaks, and Andean farmlands that blend nature with living culture.

Before takeoff, you will receive a safety briefing and technical instruction from the professional team. They will explain the flight dynamics, proper body positions in the air, and safety protocols that ensure an exciting and safe experience. Then, the complete equipment will be prepared: paraglider, harness, helmet, and gloves, all in excellent condition.

The paragliding flight lasts approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on wind conditions and the selected option (Basic, Premium, or Pro). You will fly with a certified pilot who takes full control, allowing you to simply enjoy the feeling of freedom while soaring over the majestic Sacred Valley with a unique panoramic view.

After landing, you will have time to relax, take photos, and share your experience. Finally, we return to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 2:00 p.m., carrying the memory of one of the most impressive experiences you can enjoy in the Andes.
