With 360 flyable days a year Iquique truly makes a fantastic place
for any pilot, beginner or expert. Flyable all year round the peak season starts
in October and lasts until February. But even in the depths of a South American
winter, June to July, flying and even cross country is possible.

The main launch, Alto Hospicio, sits 500m above the city on a high ridge and is
easily reached by public transport. Here, you can fly along the city in a
mixture of soaring and thermal conditions, and once you’ve had your dose, fly
over town and land on the beach at Playa Brava. Then grab a pisco sour at the
Otaku restaurant and feel the fresh breeze of the ocean.
