Why do you like paragliding?

I like paragliding because of the feeling of freedom and the landscapes you get to enjoy in different places — and on top of that, it’s possible to make a living from flying.

Diego Alejandro Olarte Castañeda

Why do you like paragliding?

Paragliding is an activity where, in a very simple and practical way, you can take off from a mountain and take advantage of rising air currents—the same ones birds use to soar through the skies. Flying is a dream and a challenge that humanity has pursued for many years.

Because of the adrenaline rush, the feeling of the wind, and the enjoyment of the landscape.
