Paragliding is one of the extreme adventure sports practiced in Miraflores. The point where this extreme activity is practiced is at Raimondi Park, next to Love Park, on the green coast of the district of Miraflores. Flying over the Lima coast offers spectacular views of the city, Larcomar shopping center, the Miraflores cliff, the beach, and the Pacific Ocean. The minimum age for flying is 5 years old.

This area is very crowded throughout the weekends. To be able to carry out this sports activity, it depends a lot on the wind coming from the Pacific, as if there is not much wind, take-off cannot be performed.

Take-off is very easy, and in minutes your feet will be floating over the land to make you feel like a bird. The take-off and landing are at the paraport, in Antonio Raimondi Park next to Love Park on Malecón Cisneros, entering through Av. Jorge Chávez, on the Miraflores cliff. The paraport was specifically built for the take-off and landing of paragliders.
