The weather is perfect, and the views of Bucaramanga are incredible. You can have thermic flights in the morning, ridge soaring all afternoon between Las Aguilas and Vuelo Libre launches, top land. The city is close at hand for shopping and night time fun.

A long windward mesa overlooking Bucaramanga with 2 launches that are top landing too. It's an excellent training site, featuring early morning and late afternoon sled rides for the novice pilot, mid morning thermic and XC flights, and afternoon dynamic ridge lift that transforms into glass-off conditions into sunset. Incredibly consistent conditions where you can practice kiting, top landing, and playing all day every day. A large main LZ below serves this site and a nearby one (Voladero las Aguilas). Landing tends to be turbulent. There are several alternative bailout landing areas. Top landing is also possible. na. na. na.
