Morning light lifts over the Aburrá Valley and Medellín spills into view: red roofs, concrete terraces and green slopes that rise into cloud-tipped Andean ridges. You meet your guide, climb into a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, and ride neighborhoods where cable cars thread up hillsides; the wind outside the launch field seems to dare you as instructors fit the harness for a 20-minute tandem paraglide.
