You step into the thin, bright air of the Andes foothills as the pilot tightens the lines and the valley opens beneath you — terraces of scrub, a braided river daring you to follow it toward the city. The launch site looks out over Cajón del Maipo, where wind and rock shape quick, honest weather and the foothills drop into a patchwork of vineyards.

You step into the thin, bright air of the Andes foothills as the pilot tightens the lines and the valley opens beneath you — terraces of scrub, a braided river daring you to follow it toward the city. The launch site looks out over Cajón del Maipo, where wind and rock shape quick, honest weather and the foothills drop into a patchwork of vineyards.
This private full-day pairs a 20-minute tandem paraglide with a civilized afternoon at Concha y Toro, one of Chile’s oldest houses of wine. Geologically the Maipo Valley sits at the edge of the Andean uplift; glacial and alluvial deposits produce the well-drained soils that help Cabernet and Carménère thrive. Culturally, the region mixes rural campesino traditions — expect folk music over lunch at La Vaquita Echá — with a legacy of winemaking that dates back to 1883 when Don Melchor Concha y Toro began planting European varieties here.
On the flight you’ll feel the landscape’s personality: thermals that lift you, the river visibly carving its way toward Santiago, the mountains standing watch. After landing, a local meal reorients the senses before a guided walk through vineyard gardens and the historic Casillero del Diablo cellar, capped with tastings.
Practicalities: the trip runs about 6–7 hours with private transport from Santiago, basic health screening, and a safety briefing from DGAC-approved pilots; GoPro 360° media is typically included. Dress in layers, bring sun protection, and avoid alcohol before flying. The day mixes adrenaline and calm — an efficient, scenic way to see how Andes geology meets Chilean viticulture.
