Lá em cima localiza-se a rampa de salto dos aficcionados pelo "parapente" conforme evidencia a filmagem do amigo no link anexo.

Todo ano fazemos uma caminhada que sai da base, vai até a rampa de salto, voltamos contornando o morro pelo outro lado, passando pelos distritos de Pongal e Alto Joeba pertencentes a Anchieta, voltando ao início. 


Asseguro que o visual é dos mais incríveis aqui do Espírito Santo conforme demonstram as fotos que fiz na última caminhada.
