This small exotic country on the other side of Atlantic ocean is a real paradise for all pilots who enjoy free flying in beautiful nature. There are over 15 great flying sites. Our team organise the trip in February, when are the conditions for the paragliding the best. Due to big altitude differences in ‘Dominicana’, this republic has lots of ‘magic’ microclimates where you can enjoy easy soaring on the ocean breeze, as well as large thermals in the huge valleys, or proper XC flights in Galvan mountain range, where is usual to fly over 100 km.

The Dominican Republic is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti. The population is about 10 million people.
There are four main mountain ranges – Cordillera Oriental, Cordillera Septentrional, Cordillera Central a Sierra de Baoruco.
