Descrizione del decollo
La Malinche Launch is unique in the region; the intersection of three valleys releases a consistent daily house thermal. It is the best local launch for both local and XC flights, providing options for 360 degrees and landing zones in all directions, as well as an extensive system of inexpensive taxis to take you where you wish. Pilots new to this site should get a briefing of the multiple landing and XC options. The large grass launch is maintained year around exclusively for paragliding by the paragliding owners and can easily accommodate 4 – 5 gliders. Winds are predictably Southwest, South, and Southeast. Top landings are common for local Mexican tandem pilots and should present no problems for intermediate pilots.
