Valle de Bravo, Mexico

Valle de Bravo Monarca Competition Clinic

January 8 - 18, 2025

  • Paragliding Valle De Bravo is on most pilots’ top 10 list for cross-country training. If you are a P3 with solid ground handling skills, Valle de Bravo is a magical place to fly with everything from mid-day cross-country options to evening glass-offs. We will strive to get at least 30 hours of airtime per week!

    We will work with each pilot to create a game plan and spend the week ticking off goals. Site briefs, launch help, flying coaching, air-to-air guiding, and a safety team complete with full medical kit including backboards and AED’s along with a US Registered Nurse as part of the team.

    You will experience a local’s perspective of Valle de Bravo with Estefano Salgado, Nick Greece and a special all-time guest

    Join Mexican National Champion and chef extraordinaire Estefano Salgado, US Team Pilot Nick Greece, and a special European guest to be announced for a once in lifetime coaching opportunity before and during the Monarca Open.

    Coaching will begin online with our French guest coach well before Monarca where he will get to know each participant so that when are flying together before the event he will be able to coach each individual.

    We will have four days of of practice flying and coaching before the event and then full brief and debrief every day of the comp.

  • Valle De Bravo has become a culinary hotbed over the past ten years. We will explore local farm-to-table menus including visiting Estefano’s restaurant, Los Veleros , which will host our crew for at least one meal. From “Taco Alley” to five-star dining options we will explore known and off-the-beaten-path dining options.

    “This trip is about authentic travel, and enjoying Valle de Bravo with locals, as much as it is about flying!” — Nick Greece
