Description

Context Punta del Hidalgo in North Tenerife is a prime location for paragliding due to its 60-meter-high sea cliffs and consistent northeast winds that create stable thermal updrafts. This coastal zone lies within the Anaga Rural Park, where dramatic landscapes of ocean, volcanic mountains, and traditional Canarian stone farmhouses with native vegetation form a unique backdrop. Flights can reach up to 800 meters in altitude, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Teide and the open Atlantic.

The Experience After a safety briefing with your instructor, you’ll be fitted with a harness and helmet before launching from the cliff edge. A short sprint into the wind provides a smooth, gentle lift-off, as the cool ocean breeze brushes your face. For 20 to 30 minutes, you’ll float in near-weightlessness, surrounded by quiet and only the soft whisper of wind. Gaze down at the volcanic terrain, rugged coastline, and open sea from above. The landing is controlled and precise, returning you safely to the same takeoff zone.

For Whom This activity is suitable for first-time flyers with good mobility and no heart conditions. Families with children as young as 5 years old may participate. It is not recommended for those with severe vertigo or major physical limitations.

Local Context Instructors are local pilots who are deeply familiar with the weather patterns and microclimates of Punta del Hidalgo, ensuring safety and tailoring each flight to individual needs. The area preserves rural traditions and is close to La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors can explore historic architecture, museums, and enjoy authentic Canarian cuisine to extend their visit.
