Paragliding Piedechinche 2 Daniel Vallejo Los Chinches South Face

At an elevation of 2062 meters, this site offers a flight duration of approximately 891 minutes and is considered easy to navigate. It is frequently used and preferred for hang gliding (HG) but is also suitable for paragliding (PG). The takeoff area is excellent, making it a popular choice for competitions due to its large size and good slope. The headwind is constant and reliable, which is ideal for both HG and PG pilots. Access to the site requires a 4x4 vehicle and takes about one hour of driving on an unpaved road. The region is located in Colombia, though specific details about the exact location are sparse. The site record for the longest flight is 109.4 km. Thermalling conditions are favorable, and good cross-country (XC) flights are possible from this site. However, there is limited information available online regarding the correct naming of the various takeoff points and their respective advantages. The low-resolution quality of Google Earth in this area and the chaotic spot naming in some databases do not help. If you have more information about the correct naming of the spots, please email info@paraglidingspots.com. For landing, the Piedechinche Zone offers large fields west of the road, equipped with windsocks. Pilots should adhere to the rule of not flying west of the highway and must not exceed a maximum altitude of 2400 meters.
