The hill near Niton opens like a ramp to the sky: a scraped grassy crest, the pilot checking lines, and the Andes wind already shaping the wing. You step into the harness and the valley exhales beneath you — Baños spreads out, rivers threading toward the Amazon basin, and the dark cone of Tungurahua keeps a constant, brooding watch.
moderate.
4–5 hours (includes transfer/waiting; 12–15 min airtime).
Moderate fitness recommended — able to run a short launch and stand on uneven ground.
A tandem flight typically stays in the air for about 12–15 minutes; the whole outing (meeting, transfer, briefing, waits) is roughly 4–5 hours.
No — flights are weather-dependent. Operators assess wind and thermals on-site and may delay or cancel for safety; the operator’s policy allows refunds if cancelled at least 24 hours prior.
Typical inclusions are tandem flight with an experienced pilot, use of paragliding equipment, a safety briefing, and air-conditioned transport to the launch area.
People with serious heart conditions, recent spinal injuries, or pregnancy are usually advised not to fly; infants may be required to sit on an adult’s lap and weight/age limits are set by the operator.
Baños has long been a pilgrimage and thermal spa town at the eastern edge of the high Andes; its location on volcanic slopes shaped settlement and modern adventure tourism.
Operators emphasize minimal disturbance to takeoff areas and advise visitors to stay on access tracks, carry out trash, and support local guides to reduce environmental impact.
