Located in the Antofagasta region of Chile, this paragliding site is known for its potential for long cross-country (XC) flights, with distances exceeding 200 km. However, it is primarily suited for expert pilots due to its challenging conditions and rarely used status. The site record stands at 238.7 km. The takeoff area is accessible with a 1-hour drive from Antofagasta, including 30 minutes on sandy desert roads. It is highly recommended to have local assistance and a 4x4 vehicle to reach the takeoff point. The site offers multiple takeoff options, likely involving hike-and-fly or vol bivouac approaches. A notable flight from 2011 describes the takeoff as turbulent and challenging, situated on a low forehill of larger mountains. The pilot experienced strong inversion and turbulent air, requiring careful navigation and skill. Despite the difficult conditions, the pilot managed to fly towards Iquique, overcoming low altitudes and tricky wind conditions.
