Cumuli, XC and Pampa
After the success of our winch tours in the Pampas of Argentina and Uruguay, we are starting another new tour in January.
We grab our winches and move through the endless flats of the pampas of Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil. After we have flown and traveled extensively in this region, we are sure; It offers everything that makes a pilot’s heart beat faster.
Relaxed XC flying under beautifully shaped cumuli that stretch over an incredible distance, a large number of towing opportunities, consistent XC conditions and endless potential. There are probably few regions in this world that offer such fascinating, wide and flat terrain.
We will again flexibly follow the wind, the good weather and the best flight opportunities. The journey will start in the busy metropolis of Buenos Aires. From there we move north to the province of Entre Rios, continuing through Uruguay and its beautiful grasslands to the south of Brazil. The capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, will mark the end of our expedition.
As always, everything in between will remain flexible, offer enough adventure and hopefully have the best flying weather.
Look forward to an exciting journey, to very hospitable people, to good starts on the winch and to our perfect winch team. Bring enough flexibility and a sense of adventure and take off with us.
