Location:: Matúa is about 35 minutes NNW from Santo Domingo. Any vehicle can reach the launch area.
Launch Altitude AGL [m]:: 250
Description:: Matúa is a private property. The owners have gently allowed pilots to use it, even though it is their own weekend house. In fact, its front yard serves as the launching spot indeed. The takeoff is located in the top of the hill, just in the beginning of a range which runs heading NW for about 45 km, with a maximum height of 900 m ASL.
Conditions and flight:: Normally, gliders use the lift produced by the sea breeze coming from SE to soar gently in the afternoons. The chances to do thermal flying are not too high because the slope isn't steep enough.
If there is no sea breeze, the wind would normally blow E. There is an alternate takeoff for these days. There are more chances to fly thermals on this side because the slope is really abrupt, but you may find it a little turbulent.
Matúa is one of the most used training hills because it is the nearest to Santo Domingo.
Maximum XC distance registered:: 36 km (done only once!)
