Most people automatically assume that the weather is hot in South America, but because of the higher altitude in the Andes, the temperature can feel quite cold, especially at night. We recommend the use of a duffel bag or backpack, whichever is easiest for you to carry. A good size daypack is also essential.
List of things you must bring:
1. What is the best time to go paragliding in the Sacred Valley?

2. Do I need prior experience to paraglide?
No prior experience is required for tandem paragliding. You will be flying with an experienced pilot who will take care of the navigation and control of the flight, allowing you to enjoy the views and the experience.
3. How long will the paragliding flight last?
The flight typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the weather conditions. Thermal winds can sometimes extend the duration of the flight.

Flights usually take place at altitudes of around 2,800 to 3,500 meters (9,200 to 11,500 feet) above sea level. You’ll get breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley from this height, including mountain peaks and ancient Inca ruins.
5. What should I wear for paragliding?
