Overview of Paragliding in Cavite
Paragliding in Cavite is one of the most thrilling outdoor activities near Manila. With scenic mountain views, open skies, and experienced pilots, this sport is perfect for adventure seekers looking to take flight without leaving Luzon. Because of the pandemic, this extreme sport created its own spark for local tourists. Before, according to Philippine Tandem Paragliding, they are flying with an average of 10% local tourists per day, while the rest are foreign tourists. Today, the majority are local, possible reasons? COVID-19 protocols, Filipinos are staying at home and want something new, and the effect of "Crash Landing on You." Nevertheless, if you want something heart-pounding and extreme, this activity is highly recommended.
