What to expect
San Gil's town hall points to two flying sites near the town. Over the Chicamocha Canyon you see the Mesa de los Santos and the villages of Cepitá, Aratoca and Jordán, with flights of 20 to 35 minutes.
The Las Vueltas launch site in Curití is about 40 minutes from San Gil: flights of 15 to 20 minutes over green fields, dirt roads and coffee and tobacco crops.
According to Colombia Travel, flights include safety gear and an expert pilot; exact flight time depends on the agency.
