Takeoff description
It is a broad flat mountain top, and it is a point of convergence of thermals from different directions. It is better to place a few windsocks in different points of the take-off and at the centre and only take off when a consistent cycle comes in. The cycles are short and come every 15 or 20 minutes. [ES] Se debe alquilar camioneta o motocicleta para acercarse al despegue de ahi se camina 25 minutos hasta llegar al despegue, esta es una explanada amplia pero con 3 puntos de convergencias de termicas por lo que se coloca mangas de viento al filo del despegue y en el centro y cuando las dos apuntan al mismo lado se puede despegar, los ciclos suelen ser cortos y separados entre si con 15 o 20 minutos.
