Wasn’t for me
It was a cloudy foggy morning so we waited for about an hour for the weather to clear up. Claris our contact on site was very organized. The pilot I flew tandem with was not the best in my opinion. We kept spinning in circles to “gain hight” unsuccessfully and at some point we flew through the fog which was a big concern for me as there were many parachutes in the air and I was terrified we might not see others in the fog/clouds and get tangled with others. The pilot was dismissive about my concerns (valid or not). Note you have to hold the rented GoPro for a bit then the pilot takes over. My pics are so messy. Only a couple of views/background in comparison to my friend who flew with another pilot and got wonderful shots. Again, I’ve done skydiving before and I’m not scared of hights but it was extremely uncomfortable and the flying time was certainly was more than what I signed up for which was 15 min. At the end the pilot took instruction to land in lower area and not return to the platform due to cloud cover around the platform. Note my friend enjoyed every second with another pilot. It could have been me or my pilot why I didn’t enjoy.

Thrilling bucket list experience
Such an amazing and thrilling experience but I still felt completely safe and secure with my pilot. He was professional and good at what he does.

Fun activity
Definitely worth the money. Friendly staff and very nice driver. Would do it again when I come back!

Excellent experience once we got up there
Such an incredible experience! Once we got up to the place, it was great, but just to move, the instructions were a little unclear and the driver (while so lovely!) didn’t speak English and we didn’t know which specific paragliding place we had to go to (there were a few). Also wasn’t super clear what to wear or bring - it’s colder up there so a light sweater is good, and while they recommend not to bring a bag, it’s easy enough to leave something small when you’re up there. And you’ll need cash to rent the go pro, which was really helpful- the pictures turned out great!

Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medellín: Paragliding in the Colombian Andes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
