If you are a native of Cantabria who has always wanted to jump with a parachute, you don't have to look any further, because here we will tell you everything you need to know to try this exciting adventure without having rack your brains looking for the necessary information, location, companies and so on, to enjoy your skydiving experience. Your only responsibility will be to search for the quickest way to the closest skydiving facilities to you and jump into one of the most adrenaline-infused and rewarding experiences of your life. Are you ready? Let's start!

We’re sure the first thought that goes through your mind is where exactly can you go skydiving in Cantabria? You won't find many locations in this region where you can skydive, however, as we know you're an adrenaline junkie, you'll just have to go to the neighbouring province of León to try this jump out, more specifically to the village of Chozas de Abajo. Don't let the prospect of this distance become an impediment to your skydiving experience, because in a matter of just two hours you'll be ready to jump from a light aircraft to thousands of metres above sea level. In addition, the best thing about going to León to do this parachute jump is that you will have an internal photo and a HD video report, a feature that usually is not available for all jumps and therefore, the perfect way to remember this experience every time you want.

Now that you know where to find a parachute jump if you are in Cantabria or in these parts, you only have to know how your day will be structured, so we will explain everything in detail.

Although some nerves before a parachute jump are inevitable, try to come relaxed, having slept well and ready to live one of the most exciting moments of your life. We know that it can be difficult, since one does not jump from an aeroplane every day, nevertheless, we have to tell you that this activity is wrongfully labelled as "risky", as it’s in fact very safe, since the monitors and pilots are all qualified, and have many jumps in experience, as well as officially approved materials that are constantly subjected to quality controls.

You won’t need any knowledge or previous experience because you will make a tandem jump, which means that you will be attached to your jumping instructor by means of a waistcoat with harnesses and other safety systems.

Your day of skydiving in Cantabria will begin at the Chozas de Abajo aerodrome, in the province of León. Here you will receive an initial training and an explanation of the plane flight and all the protocols. When you have all the doubts you have, you will go to the aircraft and start the ascension flight to prepare for the jump. Every thousand metres a pilot light will indicate the height you are at and when you reach 3,000 (maximum height reached in this skydiving centre) it will be time to let yourself fall and enjoy a free fall of just under 1 minute at almost 220 km/h. The monitor in charge will activate the parachute on you and you will enjoy an exciting flight gliding through the clouds for 7 to 10 minutes until you finally land. When your experience is over, you will discover that parachute jumping is a cocktail of inexplicable sensations that you will love.

We have no doubt that you will fall in love with a great plan such as this one, that you will discover that this sport is not as risky as you thought and, perhaps, even consider trying it in the future. Who knows, maybe you’ve gotten a thirst for skydiving so badly that you want to go ahead and get a skydiving qualification.

The hardest part of a parachute jump is overcoming your fear and the limits you set for yourself in your mind, so don't it over and try a real shock of strong emotions and try a jump that will leave you ecstatic. Because as we always say... the best thing is not to think anything twice!
