Description

Volar y volar y volar, pero siendo tú mismo el piloto de tu esta nueva aventura. Y sí, así es, queremos que te conviertas en piloto por un día mientras sobrevuelas los paisajes más reconocidos del Alto Ampurdán, la zona de vuelo de Empuriabrava será el escenario perfecto con el que poner a prueba tus dotes como piloto. ¿Vamos calentando motores? Esta actividad está pensada para todas aquellas personas que permanecen ya sea como residentes o turistas en la capital catalana. La experiencia dará comienzo en la estación Sants de Barcelona, donde tras un trayecto en AVE de 55 minutos y, posteriormente otro en taxi de 25 minutos, hasta el aeródromo de Empuriabrava, te esperará nuestra avioneta Cessna 172.  Sobrevolarás la Costa Brava y a las cadenas montañosas que irrumpen en el paisaje de Empuriabrava durante 20 minutos. No sin antes recibir las diferentes explicaciones para atender sobre el funcionamiento de nuestro ultraligero así como los consejos de seguridad. Aprenderás un par de nociones básicas para que, una vez entre las nubes puedas coger los mandos de la avioneta y ser tu propio piloto.   ¡Te damos la oportunidad de elegir entre dos tipos de vuelo! La primera de las dos opciones engloba toda la costa gironesa destacando por todo lo alto el entorno de Roses. Su bahía y sus playas como La Punta, Rastell y El Salatar desde las alturas marcarán un antes y después en tu visión turística.  Pero si por el contrario, prefieres disfrutar de los Parques Naturales de gran importancia en la comarca, obviamente tendrás que decantarte por esta opción, pues podrás pilotar sobrevolando el Parque Natural Aiguamolls del Empordá, y dejando atrás un pueblecito con las típicas casas pesqueras, descubrirás el Puerta de la Escala para llegar finalmente a Playa de Can Comes no sin pasar antes por San Martín de Ampurias.  Es el momento de decidir y disfrutar con los mando de la avioneta entre las manos de una experiencia aérea como esta. ¿Estás preparado?
