Roldanillo is a paradise for pilots also because of the uncomplicated transportation. Both launch sites Pico and Aquapenala are easily reached by bus. The buses start from the terminal in Roldanillo, stop close to both launch sites and continue to La Tulia. To reache the launch site Los Tanques a private Jeep and driver have to be organised. They are available at the park or they can be booked.
Cloudbase Colombia doesn’t have its own transportation. Subsequently I introduce three private drivers and their service. They are independent and work for their own account. Payment is due directly to the driver on arrival at the destination.
Usually these drivers offer their service between 8 and 10 am and they start in front of Cloudbase Colombia or at the park.
Alvaro's Jeep offers runs to all three launch sites for 5 - 12 pilots. Alvaro's quiet and even driving style makes his rides very comfortable. As Alvaro is busy in the afternoon, his service is available ony until 1 pm.
Cristian and his Camioneta start early and therefore are quick to reach the sites. He can make several runs, which serves pilots who want to start later in the morning. His car holds 5 - 10 pilots.
With this vehicle you experience 100 % Colombian life. With music, good ventilation and a horn the drive to the launch sites is speedy and fun.
Chiva holds 10 - 16 pilots. Groups can rent this vehicle for the whole day. The very experienced driver "Sipri" collects the pilots after landing and brings the group back to the hotel.
The bus terminal is by the park. A 5 minutes walk from Cloudbase Colombia.
