Flying weather

Paragliding is extremely dependant upon weather conditions. Iquique provides the most reliable flying conditions on our planet! Located in Northern Chile, next to the Atacama desert, it’s one of the driest place on earth (50 years without rain). Located on the Pacifique Coast, next to the desert, you’ll find Iquique and its priceless flying features.

The evolution of each day is always very similar. It starts with no wind in the mornings, then the first thermals show up around 9am, then it gets stronger at mid-day and finally it is quieter again in the evening. You never need to look at the forecast as it’s always perfect for paragliding.

Topography

The size and the shape of the terrain is perfect for every type of paragliding need. Free from all kinds of obstacles, it starts from flat ground and then the slopes gets slowly steeper until the perfect angle, all the way up to 1000 meters above sea level.

Space is a luxury and it’s really true when you are Paragliding. At the Palo Buque flying spot you can take off, fly and land anywhere without any trees, roads, power lines or any other obstacles.

Take offs and landing are not in one scpecific place, they are everywhere and anywhere.
