This paragliding site in Costa Rica offers a fantastic experience for pilots of all levels, from beginners to experts. The launch is situated at an elevation of approximately 566 meters and is known for its ease of use. The site is frequently used for soaring and thermalling, with the potential for cross-country (XC) flights up to 100 km. The location is a stunning southwest coastal and inland ridge soaring site, where you can often find yourself flying alongside eagles, black vultures, and hawks. Toplanding is possible, but access to the launch site requires a 4x4 vehicle. Landing options include Dominicalito or Dominical beaches. However, be cautious as landing can be compromised during high tide. There is a fee to fly at this site. Note that the Dominical launch is currently in the middle of a large real estate development, which might lead to its closure in the future. A typical small XC flight might involve turning left after takeoff to catch the first thermal, then following the clouds southbound. You can fly to 'La Ballena,' a private takeoff spot, where you can gain altitude up to 1000 meters. With a light southeast wind, you can return to the takeoff point without any turns, staying above or in front of the ridge for a normal flight. If you have a retrieval driver, you can continue flying on the northeast side of the ridge towards the mountains. If you get low, there are many landing options along the beach. Clouds are usually good indicators of thermals, and you can often find more clouds in front of the launch to help you gain altitude. Follow the clouds northbound towards River Baru and Dominical town, using trigger points along the way to continue your flight.
