Big Escape Manzanillo-Guadalajara Mexico 2008

Join us for our 9-Day Big Escape Adventure Tour in Mexico.

The intent of the tour is to provide pilots with the rare opportunity to visit several of the very finest world class paragliding sites in the area.

Moreover, our aim is to provide international visitors with a great holiday escape with a total immersion into the most spectacular natural landscapes and authentic Mexican culture.

Mexico (Population - 100.5 Million; Largest City - Mexico City (pop. 23 million); Capital - Mexico City. Bird - Crested Caracara; Animal -Chihuahua ; Flower - Poinsettia; Tree - Cypress.)

Situated on the west-central portion of Mexico, we have carefully selected our tour to be different from others. Away from the hustle of tourist based resorts, you will discover the quiet charm of authentic Mexican culture and lifestyle. Small villages with warm friendly people. Beautiful Pacific beaches and of course, the very best un-crowded flying sites! Tapalpa is a world famous flying site and host to Paragliding World Championship Events.

Manzanillo has been an important seaport since before the Spanish conquest and is known as the Sailfish Capital of the World: a reputation which draws annual international fishing competition. Fine beaches and water sports abound in this Gold Coast destination, along with opportunities for tennis and golf. A tropical paradise featuring 350 days of sunshine and a temperature profile that fluctuates very little, at a perfect average of 26 C (79 F).

Guadalajara is second largest city in Mexico, with a population 3 million, and yet, remains authentic to it's Mexican culture. Birthplace of the world famous Mariachi bands and also as the home of the Mexican hat dance. Travelers seeking a change of pace will find refuge here. Mexico's colonial gem is evident everywhere you look in the 16th century architecture: a city of monuments, parks and flowers, fountains and tree lined avenues.
