Day first - Patillos to Los Verdes, very difficult conditions, low cloud base, nobody made to the goal. Day two - 25km over Iquique, beautiful weather, sun and breeze. Summary - lots of pilots, great flying, laughing, asados, fun, fun, fun.
The canyon is 1200m deep at its mouth. Yes, it is a long way down. Nobody has flown there before. That is until we got there. And to get there we spent a whole day of off-road driving with our faces glued to my GPS. Then a warm night spent high above clouds and some serious paragliding fun next day. Try to spot a paraglider on the picture. That is Nick - the first man who has ever flown Tiviliche.
With every stone which falls from under the tires into the void below I grew a single gray hair. I used to have dark blond hair. Now it is all gray. There is a road from Pisagua to a ghost port of Junin. Nobody dares to drive this road. My nightmares have a location now.
