4.Lima: Paragliding Flight Over Costa Verde Districts

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 248 reviews · from $54

The flight is advertised at 15 minutes, though some flights run shorter. Safety gear and an HD video are included. Meet Condor Xtreme at the Costa Verde esplanade.

“The flight was perfect. I would have rated it 4.5 for the following reasons: 1) It was a little misleading where they are located, much further than I thought. They do provide transportation from a KFC in Miraflores which we didn't use. 2) I didn't notice this was paramotoring. Not that I was disappointed, but none of us noticed this in the listing. 3) They break the video up in 2 and the break was right where we were going side to side and almost upside down (it felt) so I was disappointed to miss that). I would request they not do that. But overall it was a great time…”

Deniz aşağıda, yukarıda gökyüzü ve ikisinin arasında ben:) muhteşemdi. Gökyüzünden aşağıyı izlerken bölgeyi göstererek anlatması (Şurası Kelebekler Vadisi, şurası Fethiye merkez, şurası Kıdrak plajı vs ) farklı bakış açısı kattı. Bölgenin sunduğu muhteşem manzara ve havanın da güzel oluşuyla unutulmayacak bir gün yaşadım. Artık bence paraşütle uçmak, 1.sınıf uçmanın farklı bir versiyonu:) teşekkürlerrrrr”
