Quixadá, located in the state of Ceará, Brazil, is renowned for its exceptional paragliding conditions, particularly for long-distance cross-country (XC) flights. The site is especially favorable from the end of October to early December, offering strong thermals and a high cloud base, making it one of the best places in Brazil for long-distance paragliding. The infrastructure in Quixadá is well-developed for paragliders, with services for take-off, retrieval, and accommodation. The take-off area features a wooden ramp for hang-gliders and a natural dirt ramp for paragliders. The landing zone is easily accessible, located approximately 500 meters (about 1/4 mile) from the take-off point. The best seasons for paragliding in Quixadá are from June to July, when the winds are less intense, and from November to December, when the cloud base is higher. The region is managed by the Clube Cearense de Vôo Livre, which can be contacted for more information. Quixadá is famous for its strong thermals and excellent XC flight conditions. However, pilots should be aware of the challenges, such as strong winds and difficult retrievals due to poor road conditions. The area is known for its unique and beautiful monolithic landscapes, adding to the allure of flying here. For accommodation, options include Hotel do Santuário and Hotel Pedra dos Ventos. The latter offers a scenic resort experience with amenities such as air-conditioned rooms, a swimming pool, and a restaurant. More information can be found at [Pedra dos Ventos Resort](http://www.pedradosventos.com.br/en.sis.index.asp?pasta=9&pagina=119). Quixadá holds several records in paragliding, including a world record for free-distance flights set by Frank Brown at 284 miles. The site is also the venue for the XCeará, an international paragliding competition.
