space for 1 (max 2) gliders; some carpets covering the ground. Mostly cross wind from the left.

from Santiago drive to Farellones, then towards 'la Parva'
Weather
- in summer expect VERY (!) strong thermals around noon/ early afternoon! - watch out for possible overdevellopment, which could happen very quickly.
Comments
house thermal on the left side of launch, behind 'brown' house. To reach Santiago, you need to get to 4000+m, very few ldg options >> see flight https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:cristobalorezzoli/4.12.2019/16:23
