Paragliders in Dominican Republic travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

There are several perfect training sites for paragliders in Dominican Republic, featuring awesome laminar breeze soaring by the sea (La Playita and Cofresi) for beginners or pilots who want to spend hours in the air, and safe and easy short routes for recreational paraglider pilots willing to start practicing and developing cross country skills. Caribbean Free Flying, the only dominican company fully devoted to paragliding activities, invites you and your family or friends to enjoy the most unforgettable vacations right in the heart of the Caribbean.

Dominican Republic provides an assortment of paragliding sceneries, ranging from rough hardcore thermic conditions in the desert areas (Galvan) to the mild and docile wide thermals of the higher valleys (Manaclita). Paragliding cross country potential is remarkable, as two of the longest paragliding flights made along the down-wind side of the Central Range from Azua (60 kms) and Las Aguitas (50 kms) will sooner or later be linked to make a 130 kms route. Not bad for a Caribbean island!

One of the best side there is Matua, which is a private property. The owners have gently allowed pilots to use it, even though it is their own weekend house. In fact, its front yard serves as the launching spot indeed. Normally, gliders use the lift produced by the sea breeze coming from SE to soar gently in the afternoons. The chances to do thermal flying are not too high because the slope isn’t steep enough. It’s well worth it to explore Dominican Republic‘s beaches from the air. It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
