 Paragliding in Lima - overfly the city Mar 16, 2008
One of the biggest attractions of Lima is that it's located in a cliff, which allows you to enjoy amazing views, sunsets, beaches, etc.
But maybe one of the best ways to enjoy its perfect location, is doing paragliding. You can do paragliding in many places over the world, but doing it in Lima will allow you to overfly one of the nicest areas of the city watching its different attractions at same time you enjoy the breeze of the Pacific Ocean. This adventure might not be cheap. It costs US$ 50.- but it's worth. Trust me! It took me a long time to do it. As usually happens, if you have something right next to you, you could take it for granted. Finally I did it last summer. It was my first time and Shawn's first time too. It was so great experience it with a TB, now a good friend of mine. The flight lasts 10 -15min and you will enjoy every single one. Don't be afraid about it. It's pretty simple, since you are in a tandem, which also allows you to take pics and film the experience. There are different groups of instructors which offer this service. They have licenses and you can feel safe with them. Sometimes there can be a line, since just certain amount of people are allowed to be overflying at same time. But it's not bad at all. People from all ages want to do it! If you are in Lima, try it and see Lima in a different way. I'm sure you won't regret it.  Part of the Perucito travel blog |

Paragliding
The view from the pyramid was nothing compared to my afternoon activity though. Ever since I got to Lima, I knew I wanted to go paragliding off the Lima cliffs. Lima sits high above the Pacific Ocean, bounded by cliffs as if the city… Pachacamac and Paragliding over the Cliffs of Lima |

I asked her what about paragliding, but she wasn't sure about that idea... maybe this would change later, a paragliding instructor might join us at the Pisco Place, haha. We were just chilling out and I saw Malvin. He arrived just on time. I couldn't book a table… 3 sweet girls + 1 nice guy = cool Mini Meet Up :) |

While we were waiting, I called Rafael - my friend who's paragliding instructor - to ask him how the weather was. He just arrived to the park and things didn't look well. Ok, let's be patient and wait a bit more. Well, finally the guide came and announced the tour would start. Ok, time to start… Pyramid, Cebiche, Paragliding... are we missing anything? |

The main activity here is paragliding, and I’ll guarantee you that you will see paragliders all over the place, barely missing the high expensive hotels and gliding down the cliffs a few miles south. Another activity is food. Lima is the gastronomical capital of this side of the continent… Strolling around Miraflores |

And today was the day :) Everything was perfect, not a single cloud in the usual gray ski of Lima, warm weather and most important it was the first time for us both, so we were excited about the idea ;)
