The thermal wind that builds through the afternoon creates ridge lift conditions on the cliff faces.<br /> <br /> Paragliding operators have been based in Salinas seasonally, offering tandem flights from the Ancón cliff area. The scene is small and informal; confirm availability before making a specific trip for this purpose.<br /> <br /> == Conditions ==<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Best season:&#039;&#039;&#039; June–November (dry season; most reliable thermal)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Launch:&#039;&#039;&#039; Ancón cliff area (approx. 40–60m elevation)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Landing:&#039;&#039;&#039; Beach below the cliffs or flat terrain near Ancón<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Solo flying:&#039;&#039;&#039; Requires experience with this specific site; always recce conditions on arrival<br /> <br /> == Getting There ==<br /> Ancón is approximately 15–20 km from La Libertad.
