More consistent and predictable is Caldera, located 15 km south of the port town of Puntarenas. Since it's a coastal cliff, you can ridge soar for hours at a time at any time of year. Starting at only 117 meters above sea level, you can gain up to 200 meters in altitude and cover 5 km along the coast.
Top landing is possible for experienced pilots under light wind conditions.
The beach provides ample landing space where onlookers abound on weekends. There is a slightly strenuous 45 minute hike to the take-off site, but the flight is well worth the effort. At 400 meters above sea level, ridge as well as thermal flying is possible. Access to the landing area is easy by car, and a shuttle driver is neccessary.
