You step onto a windswept bluff outside Lisbon and the Atlantic breathes against your face—salt and spray pushing you toward the edge. Below, the Caparica cliffs drop into surf that shapes the coastline; above, the instructor checks lines and harnesses with calm precision. In a few strides you’re airborne, the city shrinking behind you, the Tagus estuary and 25th of April Bridge unraveling like a map beneath the canopy.
