Site details on the map

Overview

Cantamar is a hill site in Mexico with a recorded launch elevation of 43 m. It works best in westerly and north-westerly winds. Pilots fly it for ridge soaring, using foot launch.

  • Careful for low flying quads, they are sometimes driven very fast on the dunes. Due to the need for strong conditions, be careful not to get blown back, dune drops off to the east and you may find yourself in a bad place. Source: ParaglidingEarth
