Offers of Paragliding Cáceres

Finally you can fly as you have always wanted: without noise and in the freest way you can imagine. If you are in Cáceres and you have an urgent need to try new things that really make you feel alive, paragliding over the province of Extremadura is all you need. Here you will find a couple of companies with which you can do it and a magnificent corner for it. The best of all is that you have found us because we will tell you everything you need to know to fly in paragliding over Cáceres as you have always wanted.

Let's start with what's really important, where to fly in paragliding in the province of Caceres. You have it really easy in this case because this aerial activity is held in only one corner, a short drive from the capital: the mountain range of Montánchez. This small but imposing mountain range belonging to the Montes de Toledo is 998 meters high and represents an emblematic place in the region of Extremadura to venture into the clouds and get to know its skies by paragliding.

It is in this area, where paragliding becomes even more spectacular, flights usually last about half an hour and always depending on the conditions in which the wind blows. You can choose to make the flight with or without video or if it is to surprise someone very special or on the contrary you want to be the protagonist of such a moment. No engines, no windows... just you, the pilot and the exuberant Montánchez under your feet. Other important areas are El Valle del Jerte and the region of Plasencia.

Surely you wonder why such an exposed adventure in which you are the body itself that only depends on a giant kite and the weather conditions do not require experience. Easy. You will not need previous knowledge in this sport because you will be flying a tandem paraglider, which means that you will be attached to your flight instructor with a vest with harnesses and other safety systems during your flight, so he will be the one who will guide this "aircraft" at all times so that your only responsibility is to enjoy the wonderful landscapes and the flight experience.

The best thing of all is that the only thing you will need to bring is comfortable sports shoes and come well prepared and wrapped up, always according to the time of year in which you are going to try paragliding. Footwear is more important than you might think, so it is recommended to go with a closed type that allows you to give a little run down the hill to speed up the take-off.

The meeting point will be determined by the flight instructors a few days before the scheduled day after a thorough study of the wind direction and ensure a fun but above all, safe paragliding flight. On the "flight day" you will have to come to the previously agreed meeting place to start with the briefing in which we will explain the route as well as everything you have to take into account once you reach the height planned for the ride in the sky of Cáceres.

That the fact that there is no engine to direct the paraglider does not back up. It is a safe sport that are constantly checked, subject to revisions and safety protocols by the pilots. In fact, in case the organizers were not positive about the flight conditions on the chosen day, either by adverse weather conditions or by some problem in the glider, the flight in Montánchez would be postponed until the next available date.

Gliding through the clouds helped by the air currents while you can see the Sierra Montánchez and its surroundings full of extensive plains covered with green meadows dotted with trees, is simply unique.

As you can see, it is a rich adventure that promises a magnificent and incomparable experience, and it is hard to believe how easy it is to enjoy. The only requirements that must be taken into account are weight and height, data which will be asked by the paragliding company once you book your day's flight. The rest, if you are a minor with a signed consent will be more than enough. This is an activity designed for anyone with a desire for new experiences. However, if you suffer from any illness or health condition, it is better to discuss it with the experts beforehand in case you need to take extra measures.

It is no secret that Cáceres is one of the most spectacular natural areas (and still unknown by many) that the Iberian Peninsula offers. Discovering it for the first time or rediscovering it from a paraglider will only make you appreciate it more, if that’s even possible.
