The Experience After a safety briefing, you’ll be transported to the launch site, where you’ll meet your certified instructor.

During this time, you’ll enjoy sweeping aerial views of the San Juan Reservoir, the El Burguillo reservoir, and the protected natural reserve—where you may spot raptors in their natural habitat. ">
