weather
From February to the beginning of the rain season the conditions get stronger, with rough air and strong winds almost all day.
During the rain season conditions are mellow, but there is risk of fast overdeveloping, with strong thunderstorms.
take_off
The launch was expanded on 2008 by the government of the Estado de Mexico as part of the improvements for the Mexico 2009 Paragliding World Championship.
Nice slope and ok for no wind takeoff in the morning and late afternoon.
landing
The official landing is a big grass field 2.5km in front of the launch. Height difference 600m.
Landing during the day is turbulent due to termic activity.
Very safe landing for begginers in the morning and in the afternoon.
Afternoon wind normaly blowes from the right (W,NW)
