Paragliding in Cerro Negro, Uruguay.

in #video7 years ago (edited)


Last week I went to a small hill with my brother Martín and two friends: @nicolasdosse and Matias. To get to the hill we first drove through a vineyard to then park our car the closest to the path we could. We walked the little hike up the hill, around a 30 minutes walk.

Once up there, we chilled watching the view and specially watching the vulturis flying, really cool! My brother and his friend Adrián were waiting for the wind to ease a bit so they just layed there in the sun enjoying the cool breeze.

Once the wind conditions were optimal, they took off. Its really entertaining to see them fly, looks magical really. After around 1 hour flying (Adrián flew a bit more, close to 90 minutes) they landed in a helliport in the vineyard, 200 meters away from the cars. We in the other hand, had to walk down again through the same trail.

The next day we went to Punta Ballena in Punta del Este, where theres always people doing paragliding. Way more crowded, but the views of the Atlantic Ocean are amazing.

Hope you guys enjoy the video!!

Looks like fun! Hope to try it one day. If only I could summon the courage.

Thanks! Yeah I think it scares me a bit, but I would like to do a tandem flight one day.

Wooow se muy lindo, ya me dieron ganas de experimentar lo mismo!!!! Gracias por compartir.

Gracias bro! Un saludo desde Uruguay.

Even when I was watching, my feet sweated.. That's look so dangerous man, people might have acrophobia you shoulda marked it as nsfw ;D

Also its so shaky that it might cause epilepsy LOL 😂

Great paralayang

Man that is amazing. Did you find yourself wanting to jump in one and learn?

Mmmm I dunno if I want to learn but doing a tandem flight yeah definitely.

That look really fun. Though I am not sure I am cut out for it. Have you ever tried it?

Yeah man looks really cool, really entertaining to see. My brother told me that day that he can arrange me a free flight with one friend of hi who does tandem. I think I will do it some day soon.

Que bueno que quedó! Como filma esa cámara! Lpm! Zarpado! Tremendo trabajo

I love to fly. If you get a chance to paraglide, you need to do it. I just took my boys to Torrey Pines where they were able to fly tandem with a friend of mine. They will never forget that day. I have dedicated my steemit account to building a paragliding following on here. So far we have about 10-15 pilots that are on here. Thanks for sharing.
