N, E, S, SW
Direction notes
ParaglidingEarth marks N, S as good. ParaglidingEarth marks E, SW as possible.
Safety notes
- CBVL publishes site-specific drawbacks/hazards; review the linked federation page before launch.
- ANAC proximity audit: approximately 2.864 km from São Lourenço (SNLO). Confirm current controlled/restricted airspace, local procedures, and authorization before flight.
Additional notes
S ramp: take-off to a pasture field, wide enough for 2 take-offs at a time. N ramp: dirt and grass, allowing 3 simultaneous take-offs. The N wind blows to the rural area direction, above the coffee farms. The S wind blows towards the city.
Easy access and flight.
