The factors that make paragliding in Pachacamac so special
We fly at a great height. The Punta Blanca mountain, from where it takes off, is 600 meters high. Although it takes off from the mital of the hill, at about 300 meters of altitude, it is very easy to rise to the summit using the updrafts.
The views are incredible. From the air you can see the entire Pachacamac Valley, the surrounding mountains, the Lurín River, the town of Pachacamac, the beautiful country houses, on the horizon you can see the Pacific Ocean and the ruins of Pachacamac.
The great height that can be reached is thanks to thermals, which are updrafts of hot air. Thanks to the thermals we can rise much higher than if we were flying on the coast, like Miraflores. Using thermals is much more exciting because the pilot makes 360-degree turns, like birds do, to get on them.
The flight area is located at the epicenter of Pachacamac adventure sports. The mountain where it takes off is used by downhill and mountain bikers. Many competitions of these disciplines are held there. It is also a very popular route for trekking and adventure marathons. They also do motocross and enduro in this area.
The fauna and flora of the area is unique. During the months of May and November, the hills fill with vegetation and the Amacaes flower blooms, which is endemic to Pachacamac and turns arid mountains into green and yellow meadows. Eagles and owls can be seen flying all year round.
