Take refuge from the harsh winter weather and enjoy some of the best flying of your life down south. Colombia offers great weather, phenomenal flying, and the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Piedechinche is a world renowned flying site that offers a unique experience for pilots of all skill levels. Newly-certified P2 pilots all the way up to experienced cross country pilots are enchanted by this magical place. Regardless of your experience level, you will come away from this trip with new personal bests in the air. Not to mention slightly more humble on the ground as you encounter Colombian hospitality in its purest form.

These trips are appropriate for every level of pilot. The opportunity to soak up hours of airtime each day allows beginner-intermediate pilots to level up their skills quickly. For more advanced pilots, Piedechinche offers fun and challenging XC flights with the option to fly north and south along the terrain or out west onto the flats.
