Guantánamo.- The municipality of San Antonio del Sur, in Guantanmo Province, is the hometown of Reinesis Pérez, known as Negro, one of the best member of Free Flight Clubs, Los Alcones del Abra, who has been paragliding for 30 years.
Negro has participated in more than 10 national events in this discipline, starting with the first championship where Reynaldo Prende from Isla de la Juventud took first place.
During 20 years, Negro Pérez was the president of Free Flight in the municipality of San Antonio del Sur, passing the responsibility on to the the younger generation that leans towards this dangerous sport..
The Pilot’s greatest achievements of the unpowered aircraft are allowing two of his three daughters and, most recently, his wife to fly. At 59 years old, he says, “I’ve spent more than half my life in the air and I’m still able to continue soaring high to enjoy the beauty of nature on Earth from above.”
