The experience

Paragliding in Jarabacoa

Soar over the lush Jarabacoa valley and mountains on a tandem paragliding flight with panoramic views of the Dominican highlands.

Jarabacoa's mountain thermals and consistent winds create perfect conditions for tandem paragliding. Launch from a hillside above the valley and soar over the stunning green landscape of the Cordillera Central, with views stretching across pine forests, river valleys, and patchwork farmland.

Flights typically last 15-25 minutes, reaching altitudes of 500-800 meters above the valley floor. No experience is necessary — you fly in tandem with a certified pilot who handles all the technical aspects while you enjoy the incredible sensation of free flight. The thermal conditions are most favorable in the morning hours when warm air rises from the valley floor.
