Pedra dos Ventos Hotel offers a takeoff point at an altitude of 460 meters (1508.8 feet) with a vertical drop of 280 meters (840 feet). You can either walk up or request a ride from the hotel owner, Mr. Almeida, who is also an experienced hang glider pilot. This site is occasionally used, particularly off-season, such as in June, and sometimes for afternoon flights. It offers good potential for cross-country (XC) flights. The takeoff area features three launch points: one with a sandy floor for paragliding facing ESE, another with a rocky floor facing E, and a third under construction for hang gliding facing ESE. Access to the takeoff point is via a 4x4 vehicle. Landing is straightforward, with multiple sites available approximately 400 meters (1/4 mile) from the takeoff zone. The best flying seasons are from June to July (less windy) and from November to January (higher ceiling). The site is located within the Pedra dos Ventos Hotel, which provides all necessary amenities and support for pilots. The region is known for its strong thermals, making it excellent for XC flights and enjoyable soaring flights at sunset. However, the soaring area is relatively small. Access to the site is about 200 km from Fortaleza, with several road options in good condition. After passing Quixadá, follow CE 060 to Juatama. The ramp is within the hotel complex.

The ramp is newly constructed, and improvements are ongoing, including the addition of a kiosk for snacks and rest. The area offers various flight conditions, from tandem flights with beginners to cross-country flights, with beautiful views of the region.
