With 450 meters above the landing place and 3 thermals working in front of the starting place is easy to make a good flight, just be careful in the non-rainy season from February to May can get very strong after 11.30 am, it becomes flyable after 3 or 4 pm until 7, in the rest of the year you practically fly at any hour. ----> OziExplorer & ThermoCompass maps of this: http://thermocompass.500mb...

Easy slope with 45 degree angle with south wind, very easy to take off, maximum two wings prepared but just one takes off. Lots of free fields to land, with one easy to reach in any conditions and with retrievals, very near to the road. From Mexico City to Toluca, then take the highway to Ixtapan de la Sal' before reaching the small town of Tenancingo take the exit to Chalma and 15 minutes ahead passing the 'Golf Club' is the detour to 'San Simón el Alto' climb the mountain and as soon as you reach the town take the detour to the communications antennas to the right, and in 10 minutes you reach the top hill, park the car and walk approximately 100 meters and there you are.
