Valle de Bravo - December


We are just back from a great week of flying in Valle de Bravo. Our third time there and my favored visit. At times I took advantage of flying with a Norwegian group and their guide Ronny and especially of his efforts to help the stragglers in his group to keep up. He spirals down to the low pilots and leads them to the next thermal while the rest of the group waits up high. Very nice!

It was my first flight over Espina, Magey and Divise and all of this on my first long flight of the week. And I made it back to the lake and Valle de Bravo on 5 out of 7 days. So much fun!

Our accommodation was very cool too; bit of an uphill hike from the LZ but much quieter than the places we stayed at before and rather 'whimsical'.
