Peru’s varied landscapes make it a playground for thrill‑seekers. Paragliding over Lima’s coast lets you soar with seabirds and see the city from above. Flights depart from the cliff parks of Miraflores or San Miguel and last around 15 minutes, costing roughly 180 soles. Experienced pilots provide harnesses and helmets, and novices fly tandem.

Rafting in Lunahuaná

South of Lima, the Cañete River flows through the fertile Lunahuaná valley. Rafting tours begin with a safety briefing and equipment fitting, then passengers paddle a 7 km stretch with rapids up to Class III. The best season is January to March when water levels peak and the valley turns green.

Other Adrenaline Pursuits

  • Mountain biking: Ride down the Andes on the Inca Jungle trail to Machu Picchu.
  • Sandboarding: Zoom down the dunes of Huacachina or Cerro Blanco near Nazca.
  • Zip‑lining: Fly across valleys in the Sacred Valley or Colca Canyon.
Safety First

Always choose licensed operators, check equipment before use, listen to guides and wear appropriate footwear. Water sports require life jackets; paragliding demands harness checks and wind assessments.

Adventure sports combine adrenaline with Peru’s stunning scenery. By following safety guidelines and respecting nature, you’ll create unforgettable memories.
