Description

Context The biplace paragliding flight takes place in Teide National Park, at an altitude of 2,200 meters. This protected natural area features a unique volcanic landscape shaped by trade winds, which create the distinctive sea of clouds that often shrouds the island. From the air, you’ll see lava-carved ravines and the alpine forest canopy, a landscape where geology and biodiversity meet in striking harmony.

The Experience After pickup and transfer to the launch site, a certified pilot conducts a safety briefing and prepares the equipment. The takeoff is a gentle, foot-powered launch from the high plateau of Izaña, offering a smooth ascent into the sky. As you glide, the cool wind brushes your skin and the island unfolds beneath you in vivid textures of black lava, emerald forest, and endless sky. Over 30 to 45 minutes, the flight travels from volcanic highlands to the eastern coast, ending with a soft landing on the black-sand beach of Puertito de Güímar.

For Whom This activity suits individuals in good physical condition, able to walk and stand steadily during launch and landing. It is suitable for those aged 5 and older with parental consent. Not recommended for people over 100 kg or those with limited mobility.

Local Context Izaña is also home to the Izaña Astronomical Observatory, a testament to the scientific interest in this unique high-altitude environment. The local community respects the park’s natural and cultural values, preserving its heritage while welcoming visitors seeking a deep connection with nature through flight.
