Access Notes
The take-off is 10km far from the city and virtually any citizen can help you with instructions about how to get there if you ask for Costão do Frade. After leaving the car on the small road (there is no parking lot), a hiking of about 90 minutes and approximately 2km is needed to reach the launch site, almost 450 meters above. The trail is easy to medium and even children can do it without big efforts. The city of Bom Retiro is located 120km from Florianópolis (the capital of Santa Catarina state) and 90km from Lages, in both cases driving through the BR282.
