Eagle Paragliding has run tours in Valle De Bravo, Mexico for almost a decade. We have flown just about every single day of every tour we have put together in Valle. The conditions are remarkably consistent.

Our Valle De Bravo tours are unique. We staff a handful of instructors who are some of the best cross country competition pilots and instructors in the United States. We travel to Valle De Bravo every year and offer tours for pilots wanting to enjoy excellent thermal and cross country flying conditions with excellent coaching. Our large staff allows us to cater to both newer pilots adn advanced pilots who wish to fly big cross country routes with the best XC pilots in The United States.

The Eagle Paragliding Staff competes together in the annual Monarca Open Paragliding Competition every year before or after the tours. We have a private chef who prepares unbelievable dinners at the large house on 4 acres we rent each year. Our tours have a true sense of community as we sit by the fire in the evenings enjoying meals together after a great day of flying.

The staff of Eagle Instructors allows us to offer tandem instructional flights as part of the tour. Our 2011 tours will include thermal coaching, and cross country coaching which will cater to pilots of any level.

We give priority registration to returning tour participants over a four week period. Email us if you have questions about the 2011 tours.

Tour Cost

One week: $2,200

Payments can be made by Check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover, or by wire transfer.

Your only other expense is your plane ticket to Mexico City. We include breakfast every day at the house, and gourmet dinners every night prepared by Chef Kevin McGinley, and all the beer, soda, wine, or water you can drink.

Saturdays will be travel days on the tours. Your arriving flight should arrive in Mexico City as close to 4pm as possible. Avoid booking tickets which arrive any later than 4pm in the afternoon, as it will create transportation challenges from the airport. The best plan is to book your ticket to land as close to 3:30pm as possible.

We are attempting to streamline the arrival times to avoid having a long wait at the airport. If you’re not sure your arrival or departure times meet the suggested criteria contact Rob for confirmation.

Your departing flight from Mexico City home should leave no earlier than 3pm. We need to get you to the airport at least two hours before your flight. It’s very important you follow these guidelines when booking your flights. If you are having trouble meeting these guidelines please contact Rob at 805.968.0980 or send an email.

We will be supplying all bedding and towels for our guests. The house will have wireless internet.

Brazil

Eagle Paragliding plans on doing a tour to Brazil in the spring of 2010. Send us an email and we will keep you posted the pertinent information.

The Brazil tours are aimed on thermaling and flying cross country. Brazil has excellent thermal and cross country potential. We will cover many aspects of paragliding including weather, thermaling, cross country decision making and gaggle flying with a group. Our goal is to fly together as a gaggle. We want to teach how to make good decisions and be safe when flying cross country. We follow three rules when flying in Brazil, work hard, have patience, and believe.

We aspire to offer the highest caliber of instruction in exotic flying locations. Brazil is known for its positive energy, and friendly environment.

A visa is required when traveling to Brazil so you will need to send your passport to an agency. We have used Visa Express in the past. They can take care of stamping your passport with a Visa. It takes about 7 business days and cost about $130. It’s very important to get this done immediately. Please don't wait to send in your passport. Realize you need your flight itinerary in order to get your visa.
