Arroyo Piedra


DESCRIPTION

Hard to get higher than 600 mt, but beautiful view, very scenic and relaxing... after you get over the nightmarish take off.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- hanggliding
- soaring

weather

Not much. It is a pure ridge soaring flight. You can stay up for ages until the wind reinforces. You will have a good clue when you see the top of the waves far away getting white. Then is time to land.

access

You need a good 4 wheel drive vehicle to get close to the takeoff point which is located close to the middle set of antennas. Otherwise is a 25 minutes steep walk. Quite enjoyable though. You need to ask permission to the 'finca' located at the bottom, which control the entrance, and you will be reaching the site from the south. You can 'rent' a donkey to carry the glider if you wish, with a local guy is going to cost 25000 pesos (14 USD). Do not trash the site. We keep it immaculate.

regulation
