Within a day of arriving in the Pueblo Magico of Valle de Bravo, we had settled in to the rhythm of the place. We awoke each day in our room at Meson de Leyendas, a 17th Century convent turned bed and breakfast, and sat down in the garden for a big, delicious breakfast amid banana trees and sky-high bamboo plants. Fueled up, we made our way out to the cobblestone street to flag down a taxi or find a van to take us to the El Peñon launch.

Uncategorized Flying Above the Jungle: Yelapa Trip Report
After three days of holiday travel snafoos, we arrived in Yelapa. Sati and I were in love with this town from the first moment.
On our second day, we wanted to fly. In the morning, we walked a minute or two down the main cobblestone path to Alan’s house. He is one of three local pilots who gives tandem paragliding rides and he also offers visiting pilots site intros and a meeting spot for rides. Ten of us piled into a little Toyota pickup and headed up to Tapa, the top launch. We wound our way up a bumpy dirt road under a lush canopy and out onto the ridge high above the beach.
