The Experience

The first thing I heard was the engine sputter — not loud, but enough to make my stomach flip as we rolled toward the edge of the Costa Verde cliffs. I could smell salt and something else, maybe fried fish drifting up from a beach stall below. Michael, our pilot, grinned and said something about “perfect wind,” which I pretended to understand. I just nodded, clutching the straps of this paratrike contraption (it’s basically a comfy seat with wheels and a big fan on the back). Never thought I’d see Lima like this.

Takeoff was smoother than I expected — one second we were rolling, then suddenly Miraflores and San Isidro were dropping away beneath us. The city looked like a patchwork quilt, all those rooftops and parks stitched together by busy roads. Our guide pointed out surfers bobbing in the gray-green water and tiny buses crawling along the highway. The air up there felt cooler, almost sharp against my cheeks. At some point Michael let me try steering for a second (don’t worry — he kept his hands close), and I probably veered left too hard because he laughed and shouted over the wind, “Easy! Like riding a bike.”

I kept thinking about how small everything looked — people waving from below, someone flying a red kite that nearly matched our canopy. Ten or twelve minutes felt both quick and weirdly long; time stretches when you’re floating between clouds and city noise. When we landed back on that dusty explanade, my legs wobbled but I couldn’t stop smiling. Later they sent me this HD video of my whole flight — unedited, so you can hear me nervously humming halfway through. Not sure if I’ll ever delete it.
