Spanish term

parapente

Spanish to English Other
The only English term I can find for this sport is "parapetting", and that only one or two places. Is there some more common name? It involves parachuting from cliffs or towers.

paragliding

at least is used synonymously quite often. Not absolutely certain, however, whether there are subtle differences.
Greetings,
and a happy new year,
