Skydiving in Lillo, near (Madrid)

Enjoy the thrill of a tandem skydive in the majestic setting of Castilla-La Mancha.

Our skydiving centre in Lillo (Toledo) is located deep in the heart of Old Spain, in Castilla-La Mancha, whose wide open plains provide the perfect backdrop to an unforgettable experience.

What to expect

A tandem skydive is by far the safest and simplest option for first time jumpers. No previous experience is necessary and you'll be securely attached to your instructor at all times. The instructor will take care of all the important steps - the plane exit, parachute opening and the landing. All you need to do take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

We'll start with a full safety briefing on the ground, and get you kitted out in your jumping gear (suit, harness, gloves, helmet & glasses).

Then, we head into the plane, and start the nerve-racking ascent to our jumping altitude. At this stage the adrenaline will be pumping as the big moment draws near! Suddenly the doors open, the air swirls and whooshes around the plane, and it's time make your way to the edge...then before you know it, you'll be plummeting earthwards, enjoying the mind-blowing sensation of your body in freefall!

At an altitude of around 1500m (4900ft) your instructor will deploy the chute and you'll begin the gentle journey back to terra firma. During the slow descent of around ten minutes, you'll enjoy superb views of Castilla La Mancha, with its endless plains, wheat fields, lakes and iconic windmills.

A true once in a lifetime experience!

Video & photos

They’ll even record your post-jump reaction for posterity!

Your video will be professionally edited to include music, effects, fades and titles, creating an amazing, high quality memento of your jump.
