An inland mountain lake, north of Cali. Pretty remote ;-)))

Best wind at south end of the lake near the dam.

Windy every day all year long. Starts to blow like clock work at about noon - gaining strength a until about 6PM.

I used my waroo 9 meter every day for a week. no complaints but a sunburn : )

Additional Infos
 
 warm days cool nights.

best spot is down by the dam. You can see the wind squeeze through the tight mountain walls because the wind often carries moisture - it's beautiful.

It is certifiable cloud forest just to the west of the launch on the other side of the dam.

Indiginous village in nearby mountains. El Darien is the only town, supprisingly good nightlife on weekends only.
