The Honduran Paragliding Association (APH) is collaborating with the municipality of Villa de San Francisco to host our first international paragliding festival from March 21-24, 2024.

If you are an experienced XC pilot and can arrive to the international airport on the 19th or 20th of March, we will provide :

• Transportation to the festival from and to the airport
• Accomodation during the event
• Retrieves during the event
• Hidration points and snacks

This benefits will be provided to the pilots registered using the form below.

There will be cultural events/food in the evenings in the central park so we expect a great time for all.

We are already expecting pilots from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Canada and the USA.

The offer of transportation, accommodation etc. is available for a maximum of 30 pilots and because this is being hosted by a tiny community of local pilots our hope is to attract pilots that can explore the potential of our region.
