Description
La Manaclita is situated between two cities along Duarte Highway, in the heart of the Dominican Republic, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes north-northwest from Santo Domingo. Access to the site requires a four-wheel drive vehicle.
The launch altitude above ground level is 500 meters, with a height difference of 865 meters. La Manaclita is positioned on the eastern face of the Central Range, facing east towards the southern Cibao valley. The Central Range extends from this point up to Haiti to the west.
This site is known for its excellent thermaling conditions, which can also provide soaring opportunities in the afternoon. The thermals here are smooth and wide, often generating healthy cumulus clouds downwind from the takeoff point. The wind typically blows from the east or southeast, allowing for cross-country flights heading north, south, or west.
