Paragliding in Mirador
A tandem flight you'll remember for the rest of your trip
About this flying site
Northern Lanzarote at its wildest. Fly above sheer cliffs with the island of La Graciosa and the smaller islets stretched out in front of you. Some of the most photographed views on the island.
The wind decides where we fly
Lanzarote's wind shifts daily: north cliffs, south slopes, or coastal sites depending on conditions. Your pilot picks the best one the morning of your flight; you're booking the experience, not the location.
Mirador is one of our regular sites. If conditions line up on your date, this is where you'll fly.

More about Mirador
The Mirador zone sits at the very north of Lanzarote, near Mirador del Río, the famous César Manrique viewpoint. With NE winds the ridge gives some of the most photogenic flights on the island.
Why fly here
- The view. Nowhere else on Lanzarote do you launch with La Graciosa filling the horizon and the northern coast stretching out below your feet.
- Straight into the air. Park, kit up and launch. There's almost no walk, so the fun starts the moment you arrive.
- Soaring the cliff. When the trade winds blow clean from the NE, the ridge holds you up at around 400 m, gliding along sheer cliffs above the sea.
What to expect on the day
The drive north on the LZ-1 is part of the fun: past Arrieta and Haría, climbing up into the hills. At the top you'll find the mirador and your launch. A few steps, and the whole northern coast opens up in front of you.
Best for
Anyone who wants to come home with the most famous view in the north on their phone. If photos and video are part of why you're flying, this is your site.
