Pilot an Ultralight Over Ribeira Sacra
Imagine the world unfolding beneath you, a tapestry of green valleys and winding rivers, as you, not a passenger, but the pilot, guide an ultralight aircraft through the skies of Ribeira Sacra. This isn't just a flight; it's an immersive experience where you learn to handle the controls, feeling the air currents and the freedom of the open sky. From the aerodrome of Chaira, you'll ascend to 1250 meters, crossing the Sierra de San Mamede, a natural spectacle of unparalleled beauty. Follow the Mao River to its confluence with the Sil, marveling at the diverse vegetation that lines its banks, a vibrant green ribbon against the ancient rock. Continue to the Santo Estevo reservoir, where the magnificent monastery stands sentinel, a testament to centuries of history. The return journey will reveal charming villages nestled along the southern bank of the Sil, completing a panorama that will etch itself into your memory. This is your chance to truly connect with the landscape, not just observe it, but become a part of its vastness. As the pilot, you'll gain a profound appreciation for the intricate dance between human skill and natural grandeur.
