Two launch spots possible for slightly different wind directions (E & NNE). Short runway with steep drop-off requires decent launch skills. More information on ParaglidingEarth Landing : Long sandy beach with lagoon on backside, bars & restaurants & sunbathers on beach. Same LZ as for Yelapa Tapita. Going there : Arrive in Yelapa by water taxi from Puerto Vallarta. Walk up pathways & a dirt trail from town to parking area near cemetery. You can hike the road (1.5 hours) to launch, hike a trail that is shorter & shadier, or hire a pickup truck ride for $10 per person from local pilot(25 minutes to launch). No cars in the town of Yelapa itself. Comments : Prevailing afternoon winds are from the west which is over the back. Most launches happen mid-morning when thermals begin to blow upslope on the front side, temporarily overpowering the prevailing winds. Weather hazards : Opposing winds above launch, variable upslope and over-the-back cycles on launch. Tourism : Lots of restaurants in Yelapa including ones on the LZ beach. Hike to waterfalls, swim in ocean, boat trip to islands, etc. Nordamerika » Mexico (4630) Fluggebiet Yelapa Eine typische Küstenflugseite für Mexiko: Hier gibt es zu jeder Zeit stabile Windverhältnisse vom Pazifik her.
