Miraflores

The take-off is a relatively small circle of grass specially for paragliding. The take-off is easy but it does get busy with tandem pilots. About 85m.

This site is a lot of fun and you can fly for hours here in the right dynamic conditions. It is unusual to be able to fly so close to buildings in a major city. You can fly up to the Larcomar shopping centre built into the cliffs in front of the Marriott hotel. Soar along the buildings and see your reflection in the mirrored front of the Marriott hotel.

Because it is in the most tourist and busy part of Lima, rules on this site are very strict, please respect them, as any accidents or even incidents will influence all the site and pilots, even all commercial pilots and staff making a living from it. More over the image of the sport, the site and their pilots and staff. It isn’t a difficult site but be sure of your skills and level before trying!

I was there at the start of January and the end of March 2008. Not sure how it is the rest of the year.

Takeoff altitude: 56m
