After the coastal fun from the fly-in, we will visit an XC paragliding town (Chone) just 45 minutes away from The Coconut Hotel to try and set some records as well as personal bests.

Come for the fly-in but use the chance to explore all of Ecuador while you are here. A number of friends will get to Ecuador early or stay after the event. We can help you organize everything.
