History
The Aburrá Valley developed along pre-Columbian corridors later shaped by coffee transport and urban expansion; the hills have long served as both agricultural land and informal launchpoints for local aviators.
Conservation
Keep to marked access roads and avoid leaving litter on ridgelines; many takeoff areas are adjacent to working farms and fragile soils that erode easily when disturbed.
