All of us in a childhood have dreamed of flying, or even jumping from the roof of the garage with my mother's umbrella or with waving arms … but all attempts were ineffective.
The man has always aspired to the sky, to invent different options fall alternated with new attempts. Watching the bird's flights, we see that they do not flap their wings constantly, the bird rests on the wind and floats in the sky enjoying their freedom and the infinite sky. People are not allowed to climb into the sky, they only have the opportunity to praise the sky in poems and paintings. And then, finally, we have the ability to fly, to overcome the great distances in planes that still cannot be compared with the flight outdoors, that you can experience with paragliding.

But, the main question is: Does the paragliding a cheap sport? To answer this question, you need to understand what your goal is. We talk about how much it costs to be a free pilot. Paragliding is one of the few activities that is very dangerous to learn on your own. Usually, people gathering on the hills and fly from the top, and a couple of broken limbs in the start - is the normal case.
The fact is that now the situation has changed in relation to the equipment and education. Since there are schools in which you can train safely, you have to become an independent driver, without fear for your life and to fly in different places on the planet.
It will be a dangerous game - to train yourself and we are talking about money, but health cannot be bought. So consider learning as the necessary expenditure.
In addition, the school not only taught how to fly, it provides database concepts, terms, and at school you gain the way of thinking and characteristics of the pilot. After flight school, you'll quickly find yourself friends and great companions for the flight, because you speak the same language.
So, the first item of expenditure - the training at a flight school. This is the cost of the main course and it is designed for the whole season. All summer you will fly on their equipment, and the pay is, usually not big.
What is a free pilot? This is a person with the necessary equipment, skills, and knowledge of independent flight anywhere. Every hill will be considered for flights, every change of weather or wind speed will be endured with a cool head. The equipment for the free pilot can be expensive depends on brand name and the cost of a good set of equipment can reach up to two thousand dollars.
The equipment can be an old, cheap or completely free.
What is the cost to buy the full set of newly imported equipment for paragliding? This question is easier to answer by making a list of equipment and focusing on the price list of selected manufacturers.
Here's the list, with an average price:
The list goes on but are only really necessary Dome, harnesses, auxiliary parachute, helmet.
The average price of new equipment - $1290.
And, that's not all!
The fact is that it is not necessary to immediately buy your gear fully to paragliding. Rental sets of equipment worth 100 dollars.
Imagine that you are going on vacation to fly to Bulgaria or India, having spent on tickets and instructors 1,000 dollars, 100 dollars for the really good equipment for rent isn't for you a serious amount?
When you need to buy equipment, you will try to save on everything, because you are just a beginner.
Overall, your first set of equipment cost within 700 dollars, including radio, GPS, altimeter, helmet, and boots. However, the normal training flight for a week will cost an average of 1,200 dollars.
But when you finally choose your equipment, you should know that even if you are now skilled paraglider and you can fly alone, you must have it on your mind that is the small list of cheap, but awesome paragliding destinations where you can experience the most exciting flights.
This is a list of five cheapest paragliding destinations:
Medellin - one of the few cities in which you fall in love at first sight: the majestic mountains, a pleasant climate, friendly locals, as well as a unique culture - these are just some of the reasons to visit this place.
Due to the location at 1,495 meters above sea level, in a valley surrounded by high green mountains and proximity to the equator, the all year-round warmth. Great weather promotes walking in the park, each of which has a unique design and individuality.
Medellin offers visitors a series of active measures. Paragliding - one of the most popular entertainment, largely thanks to incredibly low prices. For $ 40 you are offered a twenty-minute flight to the north of the city with great views of the surrounding mountains.
Most often, the pilots are with middle income, and with a normal brand equipment, which changed every few years. It often happens that a good pilot flies on the old equipment. The money in this business doesn't play the key role. The main choice is to be a pilot, choice to fly. The rest - minor issues, issues of comfort and quality (branded) equipment. This kit will cost an average of $2000 dollars.
If you already have the equipment and experience of flying - you will not spend too much there. You come to the mountains (on the slopes) and summer. You live next to the slope and only weather that follows you is summer. Nowhere you can find the never-ending summer as in Colombia. There you can find slides for dynamic soaring. Winch for the good pilot is not expensive, good pilot catches stream from the first climb of the route and flies away.
Iquique is at least, in my opinion, the only bar somewhat nice town on the northern coast. It is situated in a desert environment and exudes good energy. The beach, of course, is an important part of the environment, however, the biggest tourist attraction is paragliding jumping from the cliffs above the town. The winds are apparently perfect for this activity as well as the views of the sandy shore and the beach. Due to the fact that outside the city there are no tall trees, so you can land almost anywhere. In addition, stretching for kilometers of beaches offer an extreme variety of options for a safe landing. In the region which is for years without spilling a single drop of rain, the flight season never ends (on average, there are only 7 non-flying days per year). The best time for the duration of the flight is the period October-December.
Lima is located on the Pacific coast, but slightly above sea level. This is the fantastic place for paragliding. The cost of such activities are only fifty dollars. At the same time, you don't have to fly alone, because you there are experienced instructors, speaking English very well. In Lima, there is even a special paragliding school, which will take place in your preliminary preparation for the first flight. Here you can order a high-quality video recording, not only to remain the impressions in your memory but also on the hard drive of your computer. There used to be a company in the Valle de Uco at Manzana Historico and on the road to Vallecitos, but I believe they are not in operation now because of the competition from the in city companies.
In Montenegro can get this great opportunity and experience the wonderful feeling of flight if you use the services of the club paragliding and experienced instructors. The price of the flight is only 40 dollars.
The magnificent landscapes (sea, forests, mountains, rivers and lakes) of "country of mountains" Montenegro, is an amazing place, worthy of a bird's-eye view, to admire them. The most favorite place for paragliding in Montenegro is Lovcen Mountain, shrouded in legends. With the altitude of 1660 meters, Mount Lovcen, offering the fabulous view of the treasury of Montenegro - Kotor Riviera.
In Kopaonik, you will fly in a tandem paraglider that represents the aircraft which is designed for pilot and passenger. Tandem wing has a larger surface area and has a limited flight capability because of the safety of the passengers. The traveler is housed in an independent seat and connected to the pilot and the wing with a separate piece of equipment. The helmet and parachute are a necessary part of the equipment.
Take-off (running from the slope) usually performs from Orlova rock and flying through the valley towards Bruce. If weather conditions allow, it is also possible the tandem flight from Panic Peak.
The length of the flight depends on weather conditions, it is a cheap with a price of only 40 dollars
