While these sports are still not well developed in the Azores, the island of Santa Maria offers excellent conditions for practising and learning them in perfectly-suited locations , such as the bays of Praia Formosa, São Lourenço, Anjos and Maia.

There is also a company specialised in paragliding and micro-light flying on the island of Terceira. The location commonly used for these sports is the Serra do Cume mountain range, located in the municipality of Praia da Vitória, which has an altitude of 545 metres.

Terceira provides those who love paragliding and micro-light flying with weather conditions good for these sports, in addition to the fact that the island offers unique panoramas, placing all of the Azores’ marvellous natural environment at your very feet.
