Paragliding at La Salina - Baja Mexico

John Reising's Fall 2001 Paragliding Trip in Baja at La Salina

For a complete recap of the trip, you can visit Fall 2001 Thermal Clinic. Special thanks to: Torrey Pines Glider Port who organized this great flying trip.

La Salina Ridge is located in Baja Mexico about 30 miles from the border crossing at San Diego. The 5 mile ridge is excellent for both ridge soaring and thermal flying. The LZ is near the bottom of the ridge, but with good altitude you can fly out and land on the beach about a mile or so away. (It's nice to land right next to your room and the bar for a cold beer!)

Welcome

La Salina is located 73 km south of the border on the Toll Road from Tijuana, about half way between Rosarito and Ensenada. Locals know it as the exit between La Fonda and Baja Mar, centrally located on the Baja peninsulas beautiful Gold Coast. A great area for holiday tourism.
