Description
The La Malinche Launch is located on an angular inter-valley ridgeline so that it is unique in the entire region to pick up thermals from three valleys on three sides to where they join up into the major house thermal located over the remains of the pre-columbian hilltop fortress of Acatzingo. It is the best suited launch for 360 degrees of options in xc flight iand there are landing zones in all directions. It has a relatively low AGL so it is very important to find lift in the first few minutes, but the lift generally increases with altitude. It is a south facing PG/HG launch with 4WD or strong 2WD access, or it is a 15 minute hike from the road below. Taxi rate from town to the foot of the hill - 6 pesos. See-
