Access notes
30km from Curitiba - Paraná. Going towards Ponta Grossa through BR-277, after passing Campo Largo's main church, take the third overpass. Follow through the cobbled street until the dirt road begins. Go through the dirt road for the next 5km, always keeping left in the forks. The club is inside a private property. On Waze, search for 'Clube Morro do Cal' to get directions all the way to the parking lot.

Safety notes
  • Good for thermal flights, mild turbulence.

Additional notes
Wide grass ramp for NE|N|NW, two to three gliders at a time. Small rocky ramp (one glider at a time) covered with artificial grass for SW|S|SO takeoffs. Small E|W ramps with mixed limestone rocks and grass. Good for thermal flights, mild turbulence. Landing may be turbulent during thermal hours. Smooth flights at the end of the day. Soaring conditions are hard to happen, but when they appear, they tend to last long. Contact local people in order to arrange rides from Curitiba as it's not too easy to get to the club on the first couple of times. Big landing site right in front of the NE|N|NW take off, mowed lawn. Surrounding areas also offer good lading sites. Source: ParaglidingEarth contributors (CC BY-SA 3.0; newer contributions may also be ODbL 1.0) - https://www.paraglidingearth.com/?site=18816
