What people are saying about Cusco Region

Very professional and friendly service. Leo was a fantastic and knowledgeable instructor. He gauged the winds to ensure a safe and fun experience. Furthermore, he showed us a location where you learned about native customs, which was a delightful experience. The paragliding for us first-timers was a terrifying but fulfilling must-do activity.

This was so fun! My driver was nice and the pilot, Leo, was awesome. We had to wait awhile for the right wind but then the flight was gorgeous and quite long. I also felt very secure during the flight. Highly recommend. It is cold up on the mountain and you may have to wait awhile. Dress more warmly than you think you need to.

Leo was great to glide with and an excellent host for the tour and took safety very seriously. The video came out great with lots of footage to use. I'd highly recommend this tour.
