The island of El Hierro, is an island whose name in Spanish has already got a mysterious catch to it: iron. Without a doubt, a paradise taken from a fairy tale. But nothing more magic than to discover El Hierro from every single one of its corners, even though if there is one perspective that beats them all, the aerial one. If we add all the adrenaline that we love to feel to the most adventurous, a paragliding flight around the Canary Island is all you need.

We understand that something must have clicked in your head and you want to know all the details to try a paragliding flight over El Hierro, so we have set to work and now we explain everything for you to live this unique moment as soon as possible.

The first thing is going to make you infinitely happy. If you think that you need experience to fly a paraglider you are completely wrong. The pilot who will accompany you in the adventure will be in charge of the protocols to follow, movements and more technical knowledge, and independently of that, before the take-off, he or she will prepare you thoroughly and tell you everything you should know before the flight. A small race through the mountain, and you will be gliding smoothly from the paraglider.

It is for this last detail that we always recommend you to go with closed shoes, better cordoned off and with comfortable clothes. The rest? Have a crazy desire to fly as anyone can take a paragliding ride, even minors as long as they present a parental authorization and exceed the minimum weight established by the organizing company.

You should know that paragliding is a totally safe sport, subject to continuous supervision by the sports technicians with whom you will fly so you should not fear anything. But also, the fact of flying in El Hierro is extra safe since one of the most determining factors to be able to enjoy a paragliding is to have favorable weather conditions and good weather, and in the island of El Hierro, we assure you that there is almost all year round. Its trade winds are the best travel companion for a smooth glide over its coasts.

But besides the good weather that makes El Hierro a perfect place to practice paragliding, it is its unparalleled panoramic views that will make you fall in love with the island and this the most adrenaline-infused way of exploring the world. Flying in the mountains that rise in the valley of the Gulf, in the northwest of the island or going south, where the volcanic landscapes get to be the real protagonists, flying over the imposing valley of Tacorón is a dream now at your fingertips. Flying over the cliffs and admiring the strength of the Atlantic Sea pushing against the coast of El Hierro is overwhelming to say the least.
