DESCRIPTION
Bariloche is an amazing place where you can practice all kinds of adventure sports at the most marvelous spots that Patagonia offers. Without a doubt, the main benefits for local and international paragliders are the changing weather, with winds varying at 20 mph (30 km/h), and the extraordinary height of the hills for the launch. Once you're paragliding, the strength of the winds won't be a problem since expert instructors will help you glide in case you don't have any experience. You'll be able to open your eyes wide and enjoy the blissful landscape of Bariloche to the maximum, with a view of its lakes and mountains. People of all ages can practice this adventure sport, which is combined with sightseeing. There are no requirements on experience or physical condition. Among the varieties that the landscape offers, Otto Mountain might be the most visited spot as it's located nearby the city and a cable railway provides easy access to the summit. If you're thrilled about the idea of flying pleasurably and feeling like a bird in the air, don't miss the opportunity for paragliding. The paragliding schools will provide what's necessary so that you just worry about getting your courage up and the energy to enjoy the ride.
