Cielo y Tierra : 1000km à cheval et en parapente en Colombie

Cielo y Tierra: 1000km on horseback and paragliding in Colombia

What if we combined paragliding, horse riding, astrophysics and ecology?

This is the idea behind Cielo y Tierra: two adventurous women, Marja the astrophysicist and Kira the ecologist, armed with paragliders and telescopes and an unquenchable thirst for travel. A 1000km journey on horseback and in the air, to talk to the people they meet along the way, discover their visions of the sky and the earth and learn more about local environmental issues.

[...]The Cauca valley awaits us, famous for its exceptional cross-country conditions. From Ansermanueva we fly via Roldanillo and Palmira. Our BipBip beeping merrily, we are lifted into the sky by large thermals at record speed [...].

A huge thank you to Stodeus - leBipBip for supporting us in this crazy adventure! Thanks for the BipBip who were very helpful, especially in cross-country, and thank you for the SolarPad which enabled us to keep our phones and cameras charged - and bring you some great photos!
