Additional notes
alti: 1825m There are 2 options: to the right, beside the road, is a wide one but there are some power lines around; to the left is more recommended, with a wider valley on the way down, demanding however a 10 minute walk to reach the spot. Strong thermals with a very beautiful view of Serra da Mantiqueira. Some XC possibilities. Not recommended for rookie pilots. Watch for wind speed and direction when landing, being specially careful with road-crossing power lines spread around the landing site.
