Take-off description
Smooth slope to launch from. Just perfect. You will see it, there is no development, but the launch is clean and easy.
Getting there
On the road from Huaraz heading (N) exit the combi at Jangas. Take a taxi up the mine road. Exit taxi at kilometer 12. Hike the rest of the way to launch, the taxi driver will show you the path.
Weather
Beware of really strong (N) winds in the main valley. Serious high altitude landing no matter where you land. The valley floor is close to 10,000 ft.
Rules / airspace
Don't cross the river!
