Our sites are unique with great flying and XC potential, fantastic vistas, great learning and skill growing opportunities.

We visit different of flying sites with a variety of technical levels to choose from, along with options of flying XC, ridge soaring, kiting and top landing. Each tour is customized based on the group’s skills, expectations and weather conditions. We have multiple sites to please broad spectrum of pilots. Casa del Piloto offers a communal experience, with lots of family meals, after-flying social gathering, even sunset glass-off, BBQ’s on launch (weather permitting) .

You can also take time to explore local attraction on your own. We are happy and excited to help you plan the best flying vacation you have ever had!

We recommend arriving on Sunday (as it is easier to navigate your arrival into the country), but we can customize dates to help you find good flights. Fridays and Saturdays are bad days to try and navigate Mexico City.
Avoid rush hour. Late arrivals and very early departures may require a night in the city – which we highly recommend! CDMX is an amazing city.
