We picked Paulo because he was recommended by Lonely Planet. The first thing I asked him on the phone was how many times he had hang-glided in his life. Three weeks later I don't remember the exact Number but it was a really high number. I figured if he was still alive after that many flights then it was worth the risk. After meeting him in person, I realized that he was a highly intelligent and well educated business man who owns several businesses with his wife and that flying is his passion. I felt completely comfortable trusting him and everything went very well as I expected. He is a perfectionist and you will be well taken care of. Hang-gliding will be everything you might imagine plus more. Go for it!!! You can check out a few pictures of us flying at out blog. See the link below. Dan Bell and Kim Gibson
