Take-off description
A long windward mesa overlooking Bucaramanga with 2 launches that are top landing too. It's an excellent training site, featuring early morning and late afternoon sled rides for the novice pilot, mid morning thermic and XC flights, and afternoon dynamic ridge lift that transforms into glass-off conditions into sunset. Incredibly consistent conditions where you can practice kiting, top landing, and playing all day every day.
Rules / airspace
ATTN: the flight area is limited: laterally as well as in altitude (max 5500ft/amsl) due to the vicinity of BGA airport! > check with local pilots first!!
Comments
The weather is perfect, and the views of Bucaramanga are incredible. You can have thermic flights in the morning, ridge soaring all afternoon between Las Aguilas and Vuelo Libre launches, top land. The city is close at hand for shopping and night time fun.
