The Tepoxtepec Launch


The Tepoxtepec Launch is a southeast facing paraglider launch. Strong but reliable conditions, with cross-country options, and almost instant retrieval through the system of taxis, that takes you to and from downtown, which is about a 10 – 15 minute ride. The only complaints that I ever hear from the people in the many landing areas below, and seriously, I hear this quite often - "Why don't you land in our field sometime? We have a good field to land in too. Why aren't there more pilots flying?" Taxi from centro to base of Tepox - 6 pesos. There is a señor who will carry up your equipment on his burro for 20 pesos, and 10 pesos for each additional pack. Return from Tecomatlán (common short XC destination) to centro - 7 pesos, (or from base of Tepox - 6 pesos) 18.9632N/99.5259W approx.
