On a clear morning just outside Bogotá, the wind lifts you before the ground does — a clean, expectant pull that turns a filed-of-view of rolling pastures and distant peaks into a living map. You meet your pilot at La Cabaña Alpina in Sopó, taste fresh dairy, then move to a grassy launch slope where harnesses click and the valley’s thermals begin their slow choreography.

Time your flight
Book mid-morning to catch stable thermals and gentler winds — afternoons can get turbulent on the Altiplano.
Bring a windproof layer
Temperatures drop and winds feel stronger in the air; a light insulated shell and gloves keep you comfortable during the glide.
Check weight and health limits
Operators typically cap weight (around 100 kg/220 lb) and screen for heart or spinal issues—disclose conditions in advance.
Protect your camera
If you plan to record, secure devices with straps and confirm pilot rules for GoPro mounts to avoid mid-air loss.
Windproof jacket
Blocks cold high-altitude gusts and keeps you comfortable during the glide.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide grip for the soft run at takeoff and stability on uneven landing fields.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
High elevation increases UV exposure; protect skin and eyes during ground time and in-flight.
