Embark on a memorable journey with our hot air balloon experience over San Pedro de Atacama, where you'll revel in breathtaking vistas of Moon Valley, the Salt Mountains, and the majestic Andes.

Hot Air Balloon Adventure in San Pedro de Atacama

Awaken to a new day! Our team will meet you at your accommodation in San Pedro de Atacama early in the morning and transport you to the launch site located on the city's edge.

Start with a refreshing tea or coffee, then ascend into the sky for an exhilarating hot air balloon ride. Witness the stunning sunrise illuminating the Atacama Desert, recognized as the driest desert globally. From this vantage point in northern Chile, the panoramic views of the Andes Mountains will leave you in awe.

As you float above San Pedro de Atacama, you'll also catch glimpses of the Atacama salt flat, the Domeyco mountain range, and the plains of La Paciencia. Our flight path will take us over the iconic Moon Valley, a magnificent desert scenery that is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve in the Antofagasta region.

Your adventure will conclude with a gentle landing on the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama, followed by a delightful breakfast featuring local delicacies. Enjoy French bread and croissants paired with artisanal jam from Toconao, complemented with seasonal fruits. The meal will also feature a selection of goat's cheese, along with Inca corn and grains. Refreshments include coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or fruit juice.

After breakfast, we will return you to your hotel, with an estimated arrival time between 3 to 4 hours after the initial pickup.
