Description
Embark on a memorable hot air balloon adventure in San Pedro de Atacama, where you'll be treated to stunning aerial views of the Moon Valley, the Salt Mountains, and the magnificent Andes. This experience promises a unique perspective of some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region.
Itinerary
Your journey will begin with an early morning pickup from your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama, as we head towards the launch site located on the city's outskirts.
Following a refreshing cup of tea or coffee, we’ll ascend into the sky. Witness the enchanting sunrise illuminating the Atacama Desert, renowned as the driest desert worldwide. From this elevated vantage point, you'll enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of the Andes Mountains.
As you glide above San Pedro de Atacama, take in views of notable landmarks, including the Atacama salt flat, the Domeyco mountain range, and the La Paciencia plains. Your journey will also take you over the striking Moon Valley, a mesmerizing desert scene situated in the Antofagasta region and part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve.
After your balloon ride, you’ll land on the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama, where a delightful breakfast featuring local delicacies awaits. Savor freshly baked French bread and croissants, artisanal jam from Toconao, and seasonal fruits. The meal will also include a delectable selection of goat cheese, Inca corn, and regional grains, complemented by your choice of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or fruit juice.
Once breakfast concludes, we’ll transport you back to your accommodation, aiming to return approximately 3 to 4 hours after the initial pickup.
