glider
The glider is an aircraft that takes off towed by a specific aircraft for that purpose. After reaching the necessary height, it can fly without assistance from the tugboat and hang in the air due to the effect of ascending air currents and other meteorological phenomena that are used by the pilot, providing a flight experience only comparable to that experienced by birds in an environment of majestic landscapes.
This includes the possibility of participating in the flight preparations as a member of the ground team and learning about the particularities of this type of operation.
The glider can only carry the pilot and only one passenger.
The glider is an aircraft without an engine that takes off and gains altitude towed by an aircraft designed for that purpose. Once the flight height is reached, the glider will be released from the tug and will take advantage of the ascending air currents to maintain its height and extend the flight for a longer time.
The flight has an expected duration of about 15 to 20 minutes and is subject to the prevailing weather conditions at the time of the flight.
Depending on the weather conditions it will be possible to see points of interest such as the city of Cafayate, Cerro de la Cruz, wineries and vineyards, Castles of Cafayate, etc. The tour will be informed to the passenger at the time of booking.
