La Mesa de Ruitoque

Looking out over Bucaramanga

More of the greater Bucaramanga metropolitan area

People paragliding

We took this shot, but doesn't it look like it should be from the cover of the paragliding brochure or something?

With the Colombian flag in the foreground (in case anyone forgot where we've been all this time)

More paragliding

Marisol's checking it out

Marisol wants YOU to go paragliding


Every day for the past three weeks, we've stood out on the balcony and watched paragliders (parapente) off in the distance. Today we went to Mesa de Ruitoque to see them up close. While most of the gliders we saw were solo, they also offer tandem rides for beginners. I think Joe wants to go up later in the week. The view was amazing and it was so much cooler than in the city. And, while we didn't get the chance to talk to them, there were several Americans paragliding, too--the first Americans we've seen in person (besides each other) in three weeks!
