Big Escape San Diego-Los Angeles-Santa Barbara California

San Diego-Los Angeles-Santa Barbara

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

The intent of the tours 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 greatest city life.

California: The Golden State (Population - 32 Million; Largest City - Los Angeles; Capital - Sacramento. Bird - California Valley Quail; Animal - California Grizzly Bear; Flower - Golden Poppy; Tree - California Redwood.)

Our tour takes us through the southern portion of California: famous for its' beautiful Pacific beaches, sunny golden hillsides, and warm friendly people. California sun produces ideal conditions for wine making. There are literally hundreds of small, family owned wineries to enjoy.

Today, the city of Santa Barbara has done a magnificent job of preserving its colorful past. Here you will find a city built of streets filled with old adobes and quiet courtyards. Fine restaurants, shops and nightlife abound on beautiful State Street.

World re-known Los Angeles is a high-energy west-coast city. Take a stroll along Venice Beach of "Bay Watch" fame or visit Hollywood, center of North Americas' film empire. If theme parks, games and exhibition rides are your fancy, visit Disneyland, Magic Mountain or Universal Studios. With metropolitan LA at more than twice the size of Switzerland, you can be sure there's plenty to explore. This alluring place is where trends are born: convertibles, short skirts, health food, in-line skates, and even the Internet. Since its' beginning, LA has lived on the cusp of a trend, always re-inventing itself.

San Diego's Balboa Park complex features museums, the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Sea World. Tanned bodies on golden beaches, combined with its' proximity to Tijuana, create an almost irresistible combination.
