Paragliding course in
Chincheros. 3 days
Itinerary
Day 1 CUSCO - CHINCHERO CUSCO
At 6:00 in the morning we will travel to
Chincheros. You must get up early to catch the
rising thermals wafting up the valley walls.
This is the same reason you have to get up early
to see condors. In Chincheros the guide will
give instructions, talk about weather conditions,
and demonstrate the equipment. We prepare the
parapente. Then we run with it. Then we practice
landings. We run and jump over little ledges of
a meter (the first time), then up to five or ten
meters, and practice landing. We come home at
noon when the good winds die.
Day 2 CUSCO - CHINCHERO CUSCO
We go to Chincheros again at dawn. We try
the jumps again, and if you know how to land now,
you go jump 100 meters. This really has more to
do with flying than with jumping. So now we
learn to control the parapente in the air and do
slaloms (zigzags). We practice flying about at
low elevation.
Day 3 CUSCO - CHINCHERO CUSCO
At dawn we go flying. The longest flight
will be 800 meters. We start up at 3900 meters
of altitude. The flight will last some 15
minutes depending on air conditions. You are
always in open frequency radio contact with the
instructor so there is no need for panic, and
can ask advice about any problems that arise. We
get back to Cusco around 1:00 PM.
