The wind here has intent: it lifts, teases, and then carries you out over ochre cliffs and silver ocean. Launching from a sandy bluff or a desert escarpment, a tandem pilot straps you in and lets the coast do the rest. Below, the Paracas National Reserve spreads—rocky headlands, sculpted bays and bands of guano-streaked cliffs that push against the Pacific.
