Everyone knows that Galicia is a paradise to travel to: breathtaking gastronomy, the authenticity of its people and, of course, the rich landscape with contrasts that do not leave anyone indifferent. So, if you are looking for an authentic, unparalleled activity, skydiving is one of the most impressive experiences you can do in one of the Galician provinces: La Coruña.

You can organize your tandem skydiving jump very close to La Coruña, in our neighboring country: Portugal. Due to the inexistence of aerodromes dedicated to this type of sport in Galicia, it will be from Braga aerodrome where you can go skydiving with Galician professionals since it is the closest center to the province where you can try this extreme sport. It is here from where most skydiving activities take place, as skydiving baptisms or courses for more professional skydivers.

You will reach about 4,000 metres, a height that in general is difficult to find since the usual is 3,000 m, so if it is your first time jumping into the void, we assure you will always remember it.

You will jump attached to a harness to the professional skydiver at the peak of the flight. The free fall does not last more than 1 minute, and then you will be gliding until landing for about 10 minutes.

You don’t have to worry about anything, just to enjoy and keep your eyes open so as not to miss details of the surroundings through which you will be "flying" at about 220 km/h over the municipality of Braga.

You will also have the option of filming and taking pictures of yourself during the jump, which will then be provided to you through a memory drive or CD. It is a good way to remember your happy face (although it will not be the best part of it). You will save the report as a treasure. In Braga you will be able of filming, taking pictures or both at the same time.

This is the most recurrent option for the bravest Galicians who want to go skydiving. La Coruña is only 2 hours away, so they are the most common visitors. This can be not only a present for yourself but also for someone you think will enjoy it as much as you: a friend, your partner or for a special event... Although, in A Coruña or wherever you are going to go skydiving, you will always have to consider certain requirements.

- The person who is skydiving mustn't suffer from heart disease, hypertension or any similar illnesses.

- Women who are pregnant or suspect that they may be pregnant will not be able to perform the activity to prevent damages.

- Those between 16 and 18 years old will be only able to do the skydiving jump if they have permission from their parents or their legal guardian.

- When booking, you will be asked for your weight or body mass index, to adapt the material and consider if you are prepared for skydiving.

In any case, you can always ask any questions you need before jumping off the plane. The people who are going to be with you will are always very understanding and nice. They will help you in that moment of maximum adrenaline and make you experience one of the greatest days of your life.

Why should you have to fulfill the dream of trying skydiving if you are in La Coruña? Because traveling to Braga, in Portugal, is a great opportunity not only to experience the free fall but also to enjoy the diverse beautiful Galician municipalities and surroundings until you reach the Portuguese aerodrome. Because it is one of those experiences that are incredible to do alone while your friends or family are waiting for you on land. Because if you want to know what pure emotion is, this is one of the most perfect ways to find out.
