PARAGLIDING

 

 

Description:

The flight is along the coast line called ¨Costa Verde¨ with 70 mts height and 8 km long, it is one of the best places in Lima to fly. The take off take place at ¨Raimondi’s Park¨ in Miraflores District. It is a full dynamic condition flight with around 250 good flying days per year.

 

We can get as high as 220 meters over the building along the coast, sometimes thermals occurs and takes us 500 meters over the city.


 
               



Description:

This flying site is about 34 km south of Lima city, in a nice valley 10 km from the coast line. There are two good take offs, one placed at one side of a mountain 150 meters from the ground, and the other one on top of the same mountain 450 meters from the landing zone. Both can be easily reached with a 4x4, highly recommended, or walking 30 minutes to the first one.

 

Flying conditions are thermo-dynamic, in summer you can get as high as 1000 meters and more from the ground, which permits cross country flights.

 
               



Description:

At 160 km south from Lima, driving along the coast, we reach a large cliff of rock and sand facing the sea, which has 35 km and an average height of 120 meters. This cliff is between two valleys called Cañete, and Chincha.

 

A nice thermo-dynamic condition permits a long flight along the coast line, the landing zone is next to cabins placed along the beach where tourist use to stay on summer season.


 
               



Description:

At 250 Km south from Lima City is the national reserve called Paracas which means strong winds. The flying site is placed facing the ocean were a low sand cliff, between 15 to 25 meters height, is enough to fly with winds that start blowing early in the morning  9:00 am till noon when it gets normally up to 35 km and more.

 

It is a very nice place without any buildings where you can see natural formations made by wind and sea erosion.
