Take-off description
Large setup and TO area, perfectly prepared. Excellent infrastructure: toilets, restaurant. It's even possible to rent tents and sleep there.
Getting there
Leave Tiangua on the mainroad direction North; after 3-4km turn left and follow signs 'Sitio do Bosco', another 1.5 km on dirt road.
Weather
Normally (too) strong winds in the morning. Generally ok after 1200. Later in the afternoon watch out for the approaching sea breeze, which can be (too) strong again!
Comments
After TO turn RIGHT and fly over the ridge leading down into the flats; DO NOT turn LEFT: turbulent and in the lee if low!!
