  This is probably one of the best places to learn in all of the Americas or the even world. I took the 15 day course and stayed for another month and a half flying every day multiple times, compiling over 160 flights. The Nest hostel is a 30 second walk away from the fly site, so it's a unreal level of convenience. The staff both at the hostel and teachers here are great. I highly recommend both the hostel and the school. I plan to come back here next year to fly again!
  
  Special thanks to Sarita and Mario for being so helpful and kind. Also, special thanks to Russell and German for all your teaching. Both of you were amazing and such a wealth of knowledge. Your coaching over the radio and in class was incredibly helpful.
  
  The reason for four stars instead of five is that the van for the retrieves was in pretty bad shape. It broke down several times and released fumes inside that would sometimes make me feel sick. We didn't always use this vehicle, it was only for about half my time here.
  
  This complaint minor in my mind, but I included it to encourage the purchase of a different vehicle.
  
  In short, I loved it! It's amazing! If you want to learn paragliding, this is the spot!

  The perfect place to stay if you will be paragliding in Bucaramanga. It's just next door to the launch site, and the view of the city from the garden is just beautiful.

  Great hostel with the paraglider takeoff just 50 meters and a restaurant 15 meters away (plus another one 150m). There you feel like at home. The best place to stay in Bucaramanga for paragliding pilots.

  Great place to stay if you are a Paraglider pilot. It is dorm style and pretty busy, but great location.

  We spent two weeks at the Nest and the Las Aguilas fly site, and it was incredible. Sara is a wonderful host and looked after us very well. All the rest of the team- Russel, Richi, Ricardo Mario and German are great. The teaching is fantastic and the flying amazing (thermals in the morning, ridge soaring in the afternoon and close to the Chicamocha canyon). If you are thinking about visiting then do it!

  Awesome hostal and if you want to do some paragliding this is the place with awesome equipment in great instructors. Originally we were told the price of a dorm was 20,000 buuuuut when we went to check out they said it was 40,000. Regardless of the price issue this is still a great hostel with fantastic paragliding!
