The wind lifts and for a few suspended breaths the city unfolds beneath: a patchwork of mangroves, the wide sweep of the Guayas River and tin-roof neighborhoods slipping away as the pilot trims the wing. Launch at Bototillo — a cliff-side track on the Chongón–Colonche slope of Cerro Blanco — begins with a rough 4x4 climb, a quick safety briefing and the low hum of thermals gathering.

History
The Chongón–Colonche ridge and the Guayas estuary shaped coastal trade routes; Cerro Blanco’s dry forest is a remnant of native habitat preserved as development pushed toward the river.
Conservation
Cerro Blanco is protected to conserve dry-forest biodiversity; follow guide instructions, avoid off-trail walking and pack out all trash to minimize impact.

Arrive early for best conditions
Morning flights usually have smoother air and clearer visibility; arrive early to avoid afternoon gusts and cancellations.
Wear closed-toe shoes
You’ll run a short takeoff and ride in a 4x4 — sturdy shoes make both safer and more comfortable.
Secure cameras and phones
Use a wrist strap or chest mount; dropping gear from altitude is irreversible and dangerous.
Check weight and health limits
Operators will confirm weight and medical suitability—disclose recent injuries or cardiovascular issues in advance.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Grip and ankle support for the takeoff run and the uneven 4x4 access road.
Windproof layer
Altitude and coastal breezes make a lightweight wind shell useful even on warm days.
