I recommend the school wholeheartedly

I recently took a Thermals/XC course with Marko at Flumen - and recommend the school wholeheartedly. I always felt like I was in good hands -- both in the air and in theory class. With regards to theory - Marko is fabulous at explaining complex concepts in a simple, intuitive way. He understands the crux of your questions and answers them concisely. In the air - Marko is fantastic at watching over all the students - commenting when necessary (for safety or learning) but also breeding independence. He helped me gain confidence-building experience and gave so much practical feedback. Flew my longest...

Marko's Cross Country course

I recently took Marko's Cross Country course and it was fantastic! I learned so much about understanding weather charts, reading the local winds, planning a cross-country flight, and flying more efficiently to go further. I like the way Marko coaches. As he assesses how his students fly, he gives simple instructions for how we can fly better or launch better or land better or whatever. Every student on our course that applied themselves improved greatly. I would recommend Marko and Flumen to anyone looking to improve their skills as a paraglider pilot. He gives great tandem flights too! Chris...

The best teacher in Mexico

Learning to fly a paraglider with probably the best teacher in Mexico in wonderful nature and family environment is the flight school "Flumen" for me the first choice. No matter if you are a beginner, advanced or professional, here you are well-established as a beginner or already trained pilot. The theory in the classroom as well as the practice at the landing site or the flights from the launch site, Marko conveys 100% safety combined with 100% fun and enjoyment, both during your own flights and during theory class. Of course, everything (theory and practical) is according to APPI and Certified!!Once...

With Marko, you can always feel that there is no time to lose

Several months ago, a paragliding pilot friend recommended Marko extensively to me, as I wanted to start the adventure in this sport. My friend had already taken courses with him. We went to Valle de Bravo where I joined Marko's student group on a ride to the take-off. Once there, Marko began his morning meteorology briefing. There were giant clouds in the distance and Marko explained what those clouds would mean during the flight. I hopped on a bit to listen to him, I could not help it. Then one by one, all of his students took off in the air while Marko stayed on the ground to lead the...

You guys REALLY MISSED OUT!

  Well once again the Croatia/Slovenia/Austria 2019 XC tour with FLUMEN exceeded all expectations and greatly increased my flying skills and confidence in the air. For those of you who doubted and canceled at the last minute...uufff...you guys REALLY MISSED OUT! El Buen Sandor and myself were picked up right on time in Trieste, Italy by Marko on the 13th of July, and on the 14th we logged our first flight of the tour at the Croatian seaside spot of Brgad. Was great to be in the air with the locals and Alma (Markos better half) and as storm clouds built to the north we easily landed...

Dream big and high, I just learned to fly

"I came to Valle de Bravo without any knowledge about paragliding, and I'm leaving (hopefully soon to return) as a completely new person. Flying changed my life. Learning to fly with Flumen is without doubt the best choice you can take. I felt safe the whole time and it is amazing how Marko is able to give you instructions in the air, over the radio and while flying with you. Marko is super professional and have a passion you can't find elsewhere, not only for flying but also for teaching. He gives a good combination of theory and practice that is important to understand the air and safety....
