Fly High Paragliding School desire to ensure that visiting pilots experience the wonders of Costa Rica on the ground and in the air. We understand that your time is precious; we appreciate that and want your visit to Costa Rica to be a most memorable one

ORIENTATION

This area is a ridge soaring coastal flight. An opportunity for P1and P2 rated individuals to improve their skills with the beautiful beach ocean under foot.

The launch site faces an orientation of 240 degrees (southwest) with a good slope and sufficient clearance to take off even with little wind. Top landings are also possible, and a regular feature. There is space at the launch area for two wings to take off or land at the same time.

Altitude Above sea level: 340 feet

North latitude 9 56’ 18”

West latitude 84 43’31”

LANDING - The main landing area is totally visible from the take off. It is large field capable of handling ten pilots landing at once. The field is between the high way and the ocean. Alternative landings areas are widely available; the most common is the beach. Top landings are the norm at this site, unless the wind gets gusty and strong, making a top landing unwelcome.

WINDS - In the months of summer (December to April), the presence of cold wind of north (trade winds) restricts the fly on some days. The cycles are usually four days on and four days off. Generally during the winter, which the locals call the rainy season, in the months of May to November it’s possible fly almost every day. Don’t be put off by rain. This is the best time to fly Caldera perfect wind direction. Winds of 8 to 12 miles are a usual feature at Caldera. This gives us great conditions for soaring.

Flights of two to four hours are not unusual there. Often they usually fly for an hour or two late morning, brake for lunch at the restaurant, and then go back up for a few more hours in afternoon.
