Take-off description
To get to the take off you need a 4x4 or a strong pair of legs and determination. The takeoff will take only 2 wings. Be carefull with the tree at the top of the hill. MSL 150MTS.
Getting there
Once you get to Canoa in the coastal province of Manabi, you must either find a 4x4 or climb up the hill in the hot Ecuadorian sun.
Weather
The only one I have heard of is when a pilot went into the clouds and couldn't see where he was going - unfortunately wen't into the bush.
Comments
This is my favorite coastal soaring site in Ecuador. The weather is fantastic, the people are awesome, the food is delicious, the beach is huge and the flying is amazing!
