Takeoff description

13°40'0.60'N; 88°50'23.51'W -Elevation:754m Orientation: East/South East This takeoff is managed by “Los Zopilotos”, your local flying club. All “Zopilotos” can fly without restrictions. Very easy take-off , wide and grassy, ideal for both paragliders and hangliders. Good access road that drives right to the launch. Both dynamic and thermic, this valley is among the areas most exposed to the sunlight in the whole country. Expect strong thermals in noon hours. With light wind excellent spot for top to bottom student flights. Ideal for tandem flights as well. Spectacular views of the valley and “Volcan de San Vicente”. Dry Season Nov-May with the incidence of strong north winds in 2-4 day periods specially through Nov-Feb, but SE winds are predominant during the rainy season(june-november), making it flyable year round.
