Wegen der schnell wechselnden Verhältnisse ist diese Seite nicht einfach zu bewältigen und für Anfänger überhaupt nicht geeignet.
Location:: The takeoff is on top of a tourist town called Jarabacoa, about 2 h 30 m NNW from Santo Domingo. A four-wheel drive vehicle is needed, otherwise the 10 m hike would turn into a 25 m one.
Launch Altitude AGL [m]:: 600
Description:: Jarabacoa is a tourist town located in a very nice valley in the Central Range, about 450 m ASL. Nearby peaks exceed 1700 m ASL. The takeoff heads N, to the valley and the range where it is located runs WNW. To the S, we see beautiful hills and mountains getting higher and higher.
Conditions and flight:: This site is quite versatile. You can fly on very different conditions, with the wind blowing either N, NE, S or SE.
In good days nice cumulus form over 1200 AGL (1700 m AGL in winter). Thermals are middle sized with a lot of cloud activity.
You can travel W or E, and there is also a possibility to go S, entering a set of valleys inside the Central Range.
Maximum XC distance registered:: 19 km
