Paragliding and Hangliding

By Lorraine Caputo

To the west of El Cocuy village a dark cliff looms out of the greened landscape. This peak is call Maohama. It is the spot easiest to access in PNN El Cocuy for practicing parapentismo, or paragliding. Any time of the year is good for leaping off its heights and soaring like an Andean condor over the crumpled earth of this corner of Colombia. The best month, though, is in July when El Cocuy pueblo hosts a parapentismo festival.
