🚗 Access by car
The road from the village to the take-off is quite damaged, especially at the beginning.
- If your car has low clearance, leave it in the village and walk up.
- If it’s higher or an SUV, you can drive up slowly and carefully.
💡 GPS is not always accurate with this route. In the video you can see the real path and the main reference points.
🚶♂️ Access on foot
On foot you can go almost in a straight line from the village, passing by the blue ruins until you reach the take-off’s green carpet.
The ground is dirt and a bit uneven, but the walk is short.
NOTE: Make sure you’re meeting your pilot at Giles Norte, as there’s more than one take-off. If you weren’t explicitly sent here for your flying day, check it again. You can find all the take-offs listed here:

👟 Recommendations
- Wear good footwear, whether you’re flying or just accompanying someone.
- Bring water, especially if you’re walking up.
- Avoid flip-flops or soft shoes: the ground has loose rocks.
