About this experience
If you like extreme sports this tour encompasses the two must-do activities: Paragliding and ATVs in just one day.
Both of them have remarkable views of different grass colors, little farms, dairy cattle and mountains.
We start our day with ATVs and a brief training to understand how these powerful machines work, then we start our ride driving through a forest on gravel roads with one of the most beautiful sceneries you will see.
After the 1.5 hours the ATV drive is over, so we change our clothes and get back in the car to continue for our second stop through the mountains.
At the paragliding site our team is waiting for us to start a beautiful flight in a two-seat glider with a certified and experienced pilot around a rural area surrounded by mountains and waterfalls. We take care of the insurance and everything else so you can enjoy the experience.
After your flying experience has concluded we start our drive back to the hotel full of good memories of this adventurous day.
