Voladero Las Aguilas is a well-established, privately owned fly site located situated in the hills outside of Bucaramanga, Colombia. Las Aguilas is open seven days a week except for holidays. I spent three weeks there flying as often as possible, and it did not disappoint! When I was there in October, conditions were reliably thermic from 9 a.m. to about 11:30 p.m., at which point the winds were usually too strong to fly solo. Time for a siesta... until about 3:00 p.m., where conditions were usually agreeable for ridge-soaring until sunset at around 5:30 p.m. I came to Las Aguilas with about three hours total of flight time under my belt and left with twelve, which I think about sums up just about how great this place is.
Traffic can get a little busy on the weekends as there are plenty of other local pilots here and many tandem flights top-landing at the launch site. Make sure to get a thorough site briefing from an experienced local pilot. There is a cafeteria open here on weekends.
There is also a great hostel right next to Las Aguilas, http://colombiaparagliding.com . The cost is $30.000 pesos daily and includes transportation (from landing zone, to and from town as needed), breakfast every morning, and laundry service. If you are visiting from out of town this is really the best deal around! An all-inclusive learn-to-fly package is available as well, which includes instructor time, hostel costs, as well as equipment. While it is mostly local pilots that fly here, you will for sure not be the only gringo at this site. Word is getting out that it is a great place to learn to paraglide. Instruction is available in both English and Spanish. Contact info@colombiaparagliding.com to make reservations.
Flyable days per year: 350
Best times of the day: 9:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m., 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Cost: Site fees are $10.000 pesos daily, or $40.000 pesos for the month.
How to get there: Buses are freuqently scheduled to Bucaramanga from all major cities nearby (Bogota, Medellin, Santa Marta, etc.) Major bus lines include Berlinas del Fonce, Copetran, Omega. Direct flights to Bucaramanga are also scheduled daily from Bogota. Once in Bucaramanga, a taxi (they are cheap here, 15 minutes will run you about 5$) can take you either to the fly-site hostel or Colombia Paragliding’s affiliate hostel KasaGuane, where their van will pick you up.
