Aerial Sports in Chile: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

The territory of Chile forms a long and narrow strip that is naturally squeezed between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andean mountains to the east. The country is 2,653 miles long, yet just 110 miles wide on average. To the north and northeast Chile borders Peru and Bolivia, while to the east it borders Argentina and shares much of the Andes, and the Drake Passage lies to the south. Its extreme length creates a deep diversity of climates and terrain, with the mountains playing a prominent role.

Hike and fly

As a combination of paragliding and alpinism, paralpinism is a truly unique way of exploring the vast natural scenery. First hike and climb the Chilean mountains to the peak before jumping off and descending via paragliding. Soaring through the Andean skies, you’ll witness true solitude and stunning natural landscapes.

Land of giants

The Andes mountain range runs down South America like a spine, while Chile homes a rich collection of the highest peaks on the range. Mountains such as the Ojos del Salado (6,893m), Parinacota (6,348m), Incahuasi (6,620m) and Llullaillaco (6,739m) are but a few of the colossal summits that can be seen while flying through the skies.

Exceptional scenery

The Andes provide spectacular scenery that are cloaked in ancient cultures and customs. For the those of the Inca Empire, the summits were sacred. The Cerro el Plomo was frequently climbed by the Incas as a ceremonial site. While Osorno is home to the legend of an evil spirit that lives within the rock and lets out furies of magma.

The mountainous sections of Chile receive temperatures that are much cooler than other regions of the country, as well as experiencing a windy and dry climate.
