Take-off description
Park at the base of the mountain across from the pond. Hike up about half way up to a barely improved patch cleared by the local pilots. Not for faint of heart ;)
Getting there
Take the road to Recreativo "Joya-La Barreta" Park. Keep going on the cobbles stone road till you see a pond on your left side and a grass parking on your right.
Weather
Typically flyable during the dry season aka winter.
Rules / airspace
Respect the locals and don’t leave trash or plastic bottles behind you.
Comments
It’s a nice place to ridge soar in the evening or fly cross country. But a small hike is required and the takeoff is not friendly to novice pilots.
