Where it is
Parapente Los Cerezos launches from 3,045 m in Sopó, Cundinamarca, close to Bogotá, with a synthetic-carpet takeoff and dependably constant wind right at the ramp — a genuinely reliable launch rather than one that needs the wind to cooperate. Wind from the north through northeast, east, southeast and south all work here, opening up thermic, soaring, cross-country, hike-and-fly and flatland flying depending on the day. Getting there from Bogotá takes about 40 minutes via the Autopista Norte to Sopó; from the well-known Alpina dairy plant, a further 5 km climb by car leads up the mountain to launch. Landing is where this site really shines: pilots can top-land back at launch, or choose from several ground options, including the official zone known as 'Intermedio' — wide and straightforward — plus a handful of alternates near the parking area, at a spacious kite-flying field with notably gentle conditions, and at a school field nearby. With that many landing choices spread around the zone, it's a forgiving site to finish a flight at even when conditions shift during the day.

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Parapente los cerezos, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Parapente los cerezos with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
