Famara is the biggest flying site on the island and the real reason that people come to Lanzarote to fly. The cliff run is around 12k and the max height of the cliffs is 1780ft. There are two take off sites, one higher than the other, just outside the town of Teguise. At the foot of the take off is the landing zone which is a huge area of sandy soil. You can also land on the beach next to the little town of Famara. The cliffs run all the way up to the top of the island and at the tip, form the other side of the Mirador del Rio cliffs.

Wind Direction:

• North west
• West

The wind can often be blowing very strongly at the top take-off so the lower take-off is usually the better bet. You can also top land quite easily at the lower take-off.

Hazards include:
Strong winds on the cliff face
Rotor behind the face
