Parapente Mirador de la Corona

The Mirador de La Corona is much more than a panoramic spot: it's the heart of paragliding in northern Tenerife. From its takeoff platform, approximately 750 meters above sea level above Icod El Alto, a perfect setting opens up for flying. The La Orotava Valley stretches out in a green mosaic at your feet, the Atlantic Ocean marks the horizon, and the Tigaiga mountain range offers ideal orographic conditions for gaining altitude and enjoying long flights.

What makes it special is its consistent flying conditions. For much of the year, the trade winds allow both local and visiting pilots to fly safely and with a quality of experience that is hard to match. It's no coincidence that championships are held here and that it is a benchmark for those seeking to combine sport and nature.

The takeoff area is spacious and well-equipped, making pre-flight maneuvers easier for both solo pilots and those flying in tandem with instructors. From the air, you get one of the most impressive views of Tenerife: the contrasts of the valley, the beaches of Puerto de la Cruz in the distance, and on clear days, even Mount Teide watching from the interior of the island.

Another advantage of La Corona is its accessibility. You can get there by car via the El Lance road, and the area has space to prepare your equipment and wait for the ideal moment for takeoff. It's not uncommon to see groups of paragliders enjoying themselves together, sharing tips, and taking advantage of the sociability that always surrounds this sport.

Flying from here is a different way to experience Tenerife: you feel the air, the power of the terrain, the immensity of the ocean, and the thrill of floating between mountains and sea. Whether you're an experienced pilot looking for some serious flying time or just coming alone to try tandem flying, La Corona is one of those places that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
