Basic Tour Overview

Autumn and Winter are great to spend in Valle de Bravo. We have perfect flying conditions and El Peñón is one of the most consistent sites in the world. El Peñón is flyable every day and the wind direction is always good. If you want to escape the cold winter and experience a week of great flying, then you should book our tailored hang gliding tours. Our tours run from November through March. It doesn’t matter if you are Hang Two, or an advanced pilot, you will make the most of this site. You will do air time, do small or big tasks or go XC. Or if you just want to learn to fly, then you can come any time of the year! You can also enjoy the good food, the beer and great vibes at the landing area, where you can share your experience with the rest of the pilots that visit us from all over the world. After flying, Valle de Bravo’s town is worth visiting and walking through its cobbled-stoned alleys, eating its delicious food, and it’s not expensive.

Garrett Speeter

Alaska, November 2018

In January 2018 my wife and I flew with Rudy Gotés of Vuelo Libre México in Valle de Bravo. I am a H4 with 1,000 hours and 2,000 landings and my wife is a novice rated H2 pilot.

Rudy was able to keep us both flying every day and he has a flexible enough professional staff to give me advanced cross country lessons AND give my wife novice level training. Rudy also provided me much needed tandem pilot training (mountain launch) which is hard to come by. The site is flyable for pilots that range in skill from H2 to H4. Gliders and rides to launch were provided every day. Gliders were all recent model Wills Wing equipment. I didn’t have a day where I flew less than 1 hour. I highly recommend Vuelo Libre México for a winter flying destination. I have done a lot of travel flying and if your priority is hang gliding, this is the place to go.

Hi my name is Daniel. I’m a French-Canadian pilot. I come here to improve my flying with Vuelo Libre México. It’s been a wonderful experience, I’ve been improving so much. The team is great, they’re so gentle, and so secure and so generous, I couldn’t ask for better. I still have some years to fly, and I will come here every year for sure. I highly recommend it! Muchas gracias Vuelo Libre México

This is my fourth trip to Valle in the past 10-15 years and the best one yet! That was partly due to the good conditions and good comrades, but also in a large part to Rudy Gotés (owner of Vuelo Libre) and his excellent crew, and the efforts in making every part of the trip a memorable one!
