Take-off description
Nice grass area for many paragliders and hang-gliders at same time.
Getting there
Circa 53 miles from Vitoria and 7.5 miles from downtown Alfredo Chaves. On BR-101 road (heading to Rio), pass the exit to Guarapari and exit at Alfredo Chaves (circa 15 miles away). The ramp is located at Cachoeira Alta district, 2 miles before reaching Alfredo Chaves; get a good dirt road to the left and follow the signs to the ramp.
Comments
Good thermals, lift and XC possibilities; Its the mostly frequently used ramp in the state of Espirito Santo in a very nice area.
