Iquique's secret spot for wagga and acro

!!WARNING!! The sand is deep and cars tend to get stuck if unprepared. However you do not need to drive in the deepest sand.

This spot is great in the afternoon, when a just a little bit of wind provides enough lift for initial takeoff from the ground on a tiny first col. Then you can hop over to a big mountain and perform wagga all the way up to the top of the mountain.

The ridge is okay for XC and on good days you can fly back to Iquique.
