Event info

This would be the 6th edition of the "Hombres Pájaro" Hang Gliding competitions in Colombia. Great weather, great people, and everytime more challenging than the previous one, with more international pilots attending.
Every year we have more foreing pilots as paragliders have put out a really nice word out there about flying in Colombia and in Valle del Cauca. The event has used take offs in Roldanillo, in Trujillo (20km south of Roldanillo) and this year in Pie de Chinche (90km South of Roldanillo). So we are on the same valley. Only this time we wanted a twist, and also to give some space to the paragliding competitions that are somehow quite intense during January on Roldanillo, with the worlds, the nationals and an open FAI II event.
