“I’m thrill seeker so I decided to try it. On the day of the booking I didn’t get any message so I decided to go the place and check. Waited for 10 minutes and went gliding. It wasn’t scary and we were gliding quite high.”
Tandem paragliding over Cusco’s Sacred Valley from Cerro Sacro with hotel pickup and a flight video. Small group, 6-7 hours.
“Leo was an amazing instructor for our paragliding experience. We felt very safe and enjoyed every moment. After the flight, he took us to a local house. We highly recommend paragliding with Leo to everyone!”

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids.
