Where the Sky Becomes an Adventure
Nayarit, a destination for flying over the Pacific, mountains, and volcanoes.
Where Can You Go Paragliding in Nayarit?
Nayarit can also be discovered from the sky. Its combination of coastline, jungle, mountains, and valleys creates ideal settings for those looking for a different way to experience the destination: flying above some of its most spectacular landscapes.
One of the main places for paragliding in Nayarit is Tecuitata, in the municipality of San Blas, where the mountains rise above Playa de los Cocos. The launch point is approximately 465 meters (1,526 feet) above sea level. During the flight, the scenery combines views of the Pacific coast with tropical vegetation and mango and coffee plantations.
The area also offers tandem flights, making it an excellent option for first-time visitors who want to experience paragliding alongside a specialized instructor.
Who Can You Go Paragliding With?
For first-time flyers, tandem flights in Tecuitata are available with Alas del Hombre, a paragliding organization that offers flights accompanied by certified instructors.
The experience changes completely at Volcán Ceboruco, in the Jala and Ahuacatlán region. Here, the ocean gives way to a landscape of mountains, valleys, and volcanic scenery, creating an especially panoramic flying experience.
The site is used by national and international pilots and has hosted free-flight events, establishing it as one of the key locations for this activity in southern Nayarit.
Discover Nayarit From Above
Beyond the adrenaline, paragliding in Nayarit offers a unique way to appreciate the state’s remarkable natural diversity.
In Tecuitata, the Pacific Ocean becomes the backdrop as you soar above the tropical landscape. At Ceboruco, mountains and valleys stretch across the horizon, offering a completely different perspective of Nayarit’s natural beauty.
Flights depend on wind and weather conditions. For this reason, the activity should always be carried out with specialized pilots and operators and under the appropriate safety conditions.
