If you have been doubting for some time whether to undertake this adventure or not, we recommend that you stop thinking about it and finally try it out, because if you think about it, one thing is clear: your body is asking for this powerful injection of adrenaline. To help you take this step forward, we leave here all the information you need to know about parachute jumping in the province of Valladolid, including everything you need to know. By the end of these lines you will be so eager to jump by parachute that nothing will get in your way.

The main thing is to know where to go skydiving in Valladolid. You are lucky because this part is undoubtedly the easiest and now you will understand why we say that the natives of this region are very lucky. In this province you will only find one destination where you can jump on a parachute, and that corner is the town of Matilla de los Caños. This small town is only 20 minutes away from the city of Valladolid, while in general, in any other province, it is always a 40-minutes to 1 hour of journey to reach the area from where you can jump from the main city. Therefore, going for a day of skydiving in the province will considerably reduce any doubts you might have about the time and place where you can do it.

But that does not mean that jumping on a parachute in Valladolid is less exciting than doing it in another province because it is quite the opposite. Here you will find several types of jumps that can be combined with other features to live your adventure as you have always dreamed. Besides, it seems that those locals from Valladolid seem to like feeling adrenaline flowing through their body because you will find jumps from a higher distance than the usual 3,000 metres high. To give you an idea and to help you choose an option, here are the parachute jumps you can try.

- In our opinion, the best option you can choose: a day of skydiving with external video. With this experience you will jump together with your flight instructor and another jumper who will record your whole experience, being able to watch it later from another perspective.

- You can also make a parachute jump with internal video, in this case you only jump with your instructor, who will have a camera attached to his/her helmet and will record everything in first person so that you can relive this day as many times as you like.

- And finally, you can simply make this jump without any photo or video and enjoy the experience by recording this memory yourself.

All these jumps are held at 3,300 metres, which is easy to say, but think that 300 metres more represents 3 football fields, so rest assured that the adrenaline rush will be of epic proportions. On the other hand, for all the jumps you will have to go to Matilla's aerodrome.

We can tell that your heart is already racing, and you are eager to know more, so how about you hear from everything you'll need and how to organize your day. The first thing we have to tell you to make your nerves disappear completely, is that you will not need any previous experience, as your parachute jump will be a tandem jump meaning you will jump hooked to your instructor thanks to a vest with several harnesses. In addition, you will not have to bring or buy anything special or very technical because all the material needed for the jump will be provided by the skydiving company itself.

As for how to organise your skydiving day, you will only have to travel to Matilla's aerodrome, meet the instructors and listen carefully to the technical briefing, in which you will be taught the protocols to follow and the steps you will take from start to finish. When you have nothing to ask and everything is clear, you will go to the plane and take off in the company of other adventurers who are going to throw themselves into the void.

On board the plane, a light alarm will warn you when you have reached the maximum level and it will be time to jump into the air to enjoy a free fall flight at 220 km/h for just under a minute. After that, the monitor will open the parachute and then you'll enjoy a serene 7-to-8-minute flight in which you'll glide through the clouds until you land. You'll be amazed!

As you may have seen a day of skydiving is really easy and here in Valladolid you’ll find everything on a silver platter so that you only have to take the car and make the jump. Would you dare to discover it?
