| Paragliding
is a fascinating and awe-inspiring activity. All people
attaining the age of 18 can participate in this exciting
activity. Chile offers exceptional opportunity in Paragliding.
A Para glider is chiefly a hot- air- balloon which
is made out of rip stop nylon. You are required to run
forward on a gentle hill side with the hot-air balloon
canopy behind you. The breeze or the wind and the forward
motion will make the ram air wing to float over your
head. The paragliding is not reliant on the wind and
so it conveniently flies for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch
and nearly can reach up to 200 miles. Para gliders can
reach speed of up to 45kph and climb to heights of 150
to 200 meters.
Today, the Para glider has become an ultra light, elastic
glider. It flies without the need for a motor; very
light because it weighs less than the pilot, and elastic
because it is done with a material that cannot form
an inflexible structure. The two-person flight is the
best opening to explore the passion for flying. It allows
you to enjoy the ride and offers ultimate comfort in
flying with the instructor.
If you are flying for the first time it is advisable
to fly with the pilot especially in places of severe
dynamic winds. If the pilot feels that the wind is favorable
he might ask you to fly the Para glider for yourself.
This adventurous sport is recognized and encouraged
by the Chilean Association of Free Flight and the Aerial
Federation of Chile.
The average time of flying is 30 minutes and you can
video this spectacular moment of your life.
