Twenty four of us from the Seattle area went down to a small town called Valle de Bravo, about 3 hours northwest of Mexico City.

This is the 7th year that Team Chirico has coordinated this amazing trip.  The paragliding is epic, the people are great, and the cultural experience is rich.

A typical day was getting up and heading over to the "Cocina" for breakfast before the 1st flight of the day.  After flying we would regroup, once again, at the Cocina until we headed out for our peaceful evening flight.  To wrap it up we were back to "The Castle" for hot tubbing and the telling of our adventures during the day, followed by an authentic Mexican dinner in town.
