Rapel or rappel (from the French rappel) is a system of descent by vertical surfaces. It is used in places where the descent is otherwise complicated. The rappel is the most widely used autonomous descent system, since in order to perform a descent, it is only necessary, besides knowing the proper technique, to carry the harness and a descender.
The rappelling is used for hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, caving, canyoning and other activities that require vertical descents. Raptor is also used in rescue, in both natural and urban environments, as well as in military operations.

Flights in Balloon
A hot air balloon is a non-propelled aerostatic aircraft that uses the principle of Archimedes fluids to fly, understanding air as a fluid. They are always composed of a bag that encloses a mass of gas lighter than air and hence popularly known as balloon. At the bottom of this bag can be a solid structure called a nacelle or can be «attached» any body type, such as a sensor. Since they do not have any type of propeller, the balloons are «carried away» by the currents of air, although there are some types that can control its elevation.

Paratrike – Paramotor
The paramotor is an aircraft made up of a small propeller motor and a paraglider. It is basically a motorized paraglider. Flying paragliders require a relative wind speed of about 22 km / h, although some paragliders require more speed. In the paramotor, this speed is achieved thanks to the wind generated in the run-off that is given by the run of the pilot and the acceleration of the engine.
Once in flight, the aerodynamic lift is generated thanks to the thrust provided by the engine, carried on the back of the pilot.
