Parasailing Cost?

parasail
how risky it is
some forty years ago my father tried and was draged into the surf before he got into the air in front of el dorado on los muertos beach
he is alright

have seen many mishaps with these parasailors over those many years
even with those bungy at the cliff rest
and those four wheeler bike
one went over the cliff into the river cuale up the road to buenas aires
those big yellow truck jeeps are a mistake for the hwy, have seen them rollover and no safety

but all still keep coming back for more adventure
they are more free to do than the regulations up north
safety is not a priority
money is
same holds true for drivers
they try to get you to hit them so they can collect
construction workers
rests..

enough

we have used the group of guys on los muertos beach...down near burros bar 5 times. they generally stick out because they all have hawaiian print shorts on. the price has usually started at $35each but you can negotiate to get 2 for $50. never a problem, great ride, and not nearly as scary as it looks....a beautiful view actually.
This happens to be one of those things that carry a bit of risk with it. If you want to try this sport check out the vendor and ask people who have recently used their service. I think that is why Tom and I think the group at the GCP are OK. We have both been there >10 times. I have also asked to inspect the lines and harnesses prior to contracting with them.
I started the post, and I just wanted to know the going rate
So can I assume the going rate is about Thirty Five Bucks?
Re: Sea, Land, Air - Be Careful
The hotels all have big disclaimer notices about these activities . So make sure you have adequate out of country medical coverage . Weigh the risks and enjoy your holiday . :)

I understand several of the chain hotels offer discounts on body bags for shipping the cadavor home.
WELLLLLLL
Boy are you two lucky our flight is full, or I would take both of you along for the kids rate.
