You will be picked up from your hotel before sunrise to begin your exciting morning flight over the Atacama landscape. You will be briefed on hot air balloon safety and offered a snack before preparing for lift-off. Once you are in the air, you will have a spectacular aerial view of the desert below, where you will be able to spot the impressive multi-coloured rock formations against the backdrop of distant, snow-capped volcanoes. The flight itself lasts about 45 minutes, but the entire experience is about 3 hours. Upon landing, your crew will pack up the balloon while you enjoy a glass of champagne before being transferred back to your hotel.
