Parapente Lima Costa Verde San Isidro/Ghandi Park

This paragliding site in Miraflores, Lima, Peru, is highly popular and frequently used. The take-off area is a small grassy circle specifically designated for paragliding, and it can get busy with tandem pilots. The site offers a unique experience of flying close to buildings in a major city, with the opportunity to soar along the cliffs and see your reflection in the mirrored front of the Marriott hotel. You can fly up to the Larcomar shopping center, which is built into the cliffs. The cliffs of Costa Verde provide a stunning backdrop for flights within the city, with a 70-meter drop to the beach offering excellent lift. The take-offs are located in the District of Miraflores (Paraport) and the District of San Isidro (Ghandi Park). The flight conditions are dynamic with laminar winds and minimal turbulence. There are multiple landing spots along the route, and taxis are readily available to take you back up for a small fee. During the summer, the heat can create thermals that allow pilots to reach heights of 500 to 700 meters above the city, especially in the district of Barranco. The area is busy throughout the day, particularly on weekends and during lunch hours and after 5 p.m. Night flights are rare but can be spectacular between 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM.
