Take-off description
Natural ramp with a perfect slope angle, despite the area is full of cliffs.
Getting there
10 miles from Prado downtown on a good dirt road. Access road is above Praia da Paixão beach, downhill, close to a house.
Weather
Due to the low vertical drop, one must make a strong right just after take-off, since landing will be compulsory if one misses the winds. One should be careful after 3 PM due to strong winds, making paraglider take-offs very difficult.
