Parapente Jungapao

Takeoff Site: The takeoff point is located in Jungapeo, a region to the south of Tuxpan. This takeoff site is notable for its impressive surroundings, especially a canyon to the left that requires careful glide management to avoid getting stuck there. It's a challenging and exciting location for experienced paragliders. Landing Site: The designated landing area is San José Purua. The narrative describes a specific flying experience where the plan initially was to land on the plateau above and behind the takeoff area. However, upon reaching the base and spotting a couple of potential landing sites, the pilots decided to embark on a cross-country (XC) flight. In-Flight Experience: The pilots, including Esteban and the author, managed to surf over a hill near a dump site where they met another pilot, Juan Carlos. They spent some time gaining altitude in this area. The author then decided to cross the canyon to a village on the other side, as he had sufficient altitude to do so. Landing Challenges: The landing in San José Purua is a bit tricky due to strong winds.
