Why This Sunset Paragliding Adventure Soars

Imagine standing on a lush ridge above Puntarenas late in the afternoon, attaching yourself to a certified pilot, and launching gently into a 40-minute paragliding experience just as the sky shifts through gold and rose tones. As you glide at roughly 1,500 feet, sweeping coastlines and dense tropical rainforest merge beneath you, the coastline of Jaco Beach, the jungle canopy inland, and Los Sueños Marina near Herradura Beach all laid out below. This is not an extreme or jarring ride but a smooth drift, perfect for soaking in the panorama, hearing the surf faintly below, and sensing how jungle, beach, and sky frame the essence of Costa Rica. With a tour guide helping you spot landmarks and natural features, its a rare chance to see the country from an airy, cinematic perspective.

Before you find your guide and head for the skies, consider these pointers to make the most of the flight:

• Carry a small water bottle since the coastal air can be humid and warm
• This activity is low on physical demand, suitable for most ages
• Early morning or late afternoon flights offer the best light and stable air
• Confirm weight limits if you plan to fly with a child
