FREE FLIGHT ACADEMY
Over the last twelve years, Free Flight Academy have become specialists at providing quality long haul trips catered to the right level of pilot for each location. We understand that the world is a big place with many paragliding adventures to be discovered and with this in mind we are offering the opportunity to fly a really special place, Iquique, Chile.
We last ran a tour here in 2017 and it now feels like the right time to return. .
Iquique offers pilots of all levels, fun relaxed flying, spectacular scenery, great food and the opportunity to fly in the Atacama desert
Skill requirements
This trip is for all levels of pilot that are confident with unassisted launching and landing.
Coastal soaring along desert dunes and over the city makes for memorable moments every flight.
This trip is perfect for those wanting to try out their first long haul destination and experienced travellers alike.
Why join us?
With 12+ years' experience running trips overseas, we've learnt how to ensure every pilot gets the most out of each experience.
Local contacts, supportive instructors, comfortable beach front accommodation, restaurant recommendations and more helps creates a hassle free trip.
Let us do all the planning, so you're free to focus on your flying!
Where are we going?
This adventure is mostly based in Iquique. Our accommodation is right on the beach meaning you can land, pack up and walk back to the hotel whenever you like.
We also aim to fly at a location in the Atacama, desert, near a small town called Pisaqua. It has barely rained there for almost 500 years......so flying conditions should be good!
How big is the group?
The trip is strictly limited to 10 pilots.
These trips book up quickly, so contact us to confirm your place!
