Description

Context The Monastery of Our Lady of Monlora in Luna, Zaragoza, is known as the lookout point of the Five Villages due to its panoramic views. Located in a mountainous region with strong upward thermal currents, it is an exceptional site for paragliding. The surrounding area offers a landscape where the air is filled with the flight of griffons and other raptors, which can be observed from the sky.

The Experience After equipping with helmet, gloves, and goggles, you will launch gently from the monastery's lookout with the support of a professional pilot. For 15 to 30 minutes, you’ll glide in a tandem paraglider, enjoying the sensation of weightlessness and the silence broken only by the wind. From above, you’ll view the monastery and the surrounding region, while observing raptors in their natural habitat—an experience that blends heritage and nature.
