Paragliding over the Ocean in the Azores
The Azores are considered by many to be an extraordinary destination for paragliding, given the large number of different spots that distinguish them and the many take-off and landing areas.

In addition to technical cross country flights, flying over the volcanic lakes of Furnas, Fogo or Sete Cidades, the beaches and cliffs also guarantee extremely rewarding flight experiences.

The Azores Paragliding Festival has already known 20 editions, and every year it takes place in August, attracting countless national and foreign pilots, who during a week can exchange their experiences in the best spots in São Miguel.

Olá, tanto quanto sabemos, não. Os ventos aqui nestas ilhas, especialmente os extremos, são muito fortes e imprevisíveis.
