BASIC COURSE "APPI 1 DISCOVER"
An easy, fun and safe paragliding course. Our Paragliding Complete Course is aligned with international standards of APPI (Association of Paragliding Pilots and instructors ) , an international organization based in Switzerland that validate licenses worldwide. The course aims to learn to paraglide by yourself in all types of flight : in sand dunes, cliffs and mountains. Therefore, the course consists of 12 lessons divided into 4 modules: low-altitude flights , high altitude flights, ground control and theories.
Low Altitude flights
You will fly over the sand dunes located in Lurin (45 minutes south of Lima), where you will perform several 30 meters high flights and learn the basic techniques of paragliding like takeoffs, landings and turns . This module consists of 2 classes of 5 flights each class.This stage is the most dynamic of the course, because every flight you will learn a different technique. A big advantage we offer to our students is that they do not have to climb the dune walking, because we have ATV motorcycles to climb the dune. This makes learning faster , easier and safer.
High Altitude Flight
This module consists of 1 class in Pachacamac Miraflores or Pasamayo . You will perform 1 high-altitude flight, the flying height varies between 100 to 400 meters, depending on the flying zone The aim of the module is to learn to use the lift of wind, to takeoff and to land alone. These class is the most exciting of the course, because you'll fly over amazing areas and beautiful landscapes.

It consists of 2 lessons of 2 hours each. In the ground control classes, you will practice paragliding inflation with different techniques and maintain control of the glider inflated for several minutes. Despite in these classes you will not fly, ground control is extremely important and essential for safe flights. With good ground control, you can take off in any wind condition and in any area. Furthermore, control of the glider in flight is the same than in the ground, so the more you practice ground control , you will fly better and safer . These classes are held in Miraflores and can be done during the mornings, afternoons and even at night.
