Paragliding Flight over Costa Verde

Ten minutes airborne over Lima's cliffs and the Pacific.

• Duration: 10 - 15 minutes of flight (plus check-in time)
• Format: private

This is a short, memorable flight in tandem with a certified pilot over the cliffs of Miraflores and the Costa Verde coastline. Paragliders launch right from the Miraflores clifftop, near Parque del Amor, so there is no long drive out of the city: in about ten to fifteen minutes you glide over the Malecón, the cliffs and the Pacific, with Lima's skyline beside you. No experience is needed, because the pilot controls the flight. Video of your flight is included, so the moment becomes a keepsake. It is an individual or couple's experience rather than a group tour, and the whole activity, with check-in and gear, takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Flights depend on the wind and do not run every day, so your plan may need a little flexibility. Weight limits and a minimum age usually apply to tandem flights, so confirm them when you book.
