Lima is the only capital city in South America located on the Pacific Ocean, and this geographical privilege makes it an unbeatable setting for paragliding. Miraflores, with its spectacular cliffs and the blue ocean in the background, offers an unforgettable experience that combines adrenaline, natural beauty, and the opportunity to see Lima from a completely different perspective. Flying over the Costa Verde is not just an extreme sport, it is a way to discover the majesty of Peru's capital from above, feeling the Pacific breeze and gaining a whole new perspective on Lima.
Miraflores stands out for its privileged location on the cliffs bordering the ocean, offering a visually stunning landscape that combines the blue of the sea with the green of the parks and the colors of the city. The air currents in this area are ideal for paragliding, allowing for smooth and safe flights.
The breeze coming from the Pacific Ocean hits the hillside of Lima, creating an updraft that paragliders take advantage of to gain and maintain altitude. The maximum altitude in Miraflores is approximately 45 meters, although some flights can reach a maximum altitude of 250 meters.
Clothing: It is essential to wear comfortable clothing, preferably sportswear. We recommend wearing sneakers or boots, making sure they are well-fitted.
Sun protection: Sunglasses and sunscreen.
Coat: A polo shirt for summer or a windbreaker if it is cold.
Myth to dispel you don't jump into the void, nor is there free fall. A paraglider is a glider; it floats on the air like a large bird. Your role is to follow instructions and enjoy yourself. It usually feels more like freedom than “emptiness.” There is no free fall like in bungee jumping.
A paraglider is a gliding vehicle, which means it glides and floats in the air, similar to a large bird. Your only responsibility is to follow the pilot's instructions and focus on enjoying the experience.
If you prefer an adventure that combines adrenaline with urban and natural landscapes, the aerial tour of four districts of the Costa Verde will show you Lima from a perspective that few know, flying over the sea, cliffs, and most emblematic parks.

Absolutely. All our flights are tandem, meaning you fly with a certified professional pilot who handles the equipment. Miraflores is world-famous for its steady ocean breezes, making it one of the safest spots for paragliding.
We suggest comfortable athletic clothing and sneakers (no flip-flops). In summer, a light shirt is fine, but in winter, bring a windbreaker. Sunglasses and sunscreen are highly recommended.
Flights typically glide at 45 meters (150 feet) above the cliffs. However, depending on weather conditions, you can reach maximum altitudes of up to 250 meters (820 feet) during the tour.
Not at all. Paragliding is about gliding, not falling. You don't jump off the cliff; the wind lifts the canopy, and you gently lift off the ground. Most travelers describe the feeling as "peaceful freedom" rather than adrenaline-pumping fear.
