Paragliding in Crucita

Crucita is one of Ecuador’s premier coastal flying sites. A consistent sea breeze pushes up the ridge that runs along the beach, creating reliable ridge lift that can keep you soaring for hours, often within easy reach of the landing zone.

It’s a friendly spot for every level. Newcomers can take a tandem flight with an experienced local pilot, while seasoned flyers enjoy long coastal runs, dune soaring, and the occasional thermal climb. Launch is just minutes from the hostel, so it’s easy to fly whenever the window opens.
