Guadarrama Park Hot Air Balloon Ride
Description
Prepare to be enchanted by the southern Sierra of Madrid! Embark on a hot air balloon experience above Guadarrama National Park and admire the natural beauty of Madrid from an extraordinary perspective.
Hot Air Balloon Experience Overview
Are you ready to view the stunning mountain range of Madrid from above? If so, we will meet at Avenida de los Estudiantes, number 4. Located in the charming town of Villanueva del Pardillo, you will receive briefing on safety procedures.
Once we are all set, we will embark on an unforgettable hot air balloon flight over Guadarrama National Park. During our 1-hour journey, expect to see the breathtaking oak forests, pastures, riparian woodlands, and farmlands that characterize this protected area to the west of the Madrid Community.
As we glide through the skies, you’ll have the opportunity to capture stunning photos of the Sierra de Guadarrama and its namesake river. The patchwork of woodlands, pine forests, and meadows becomes even more spectacular from above.
Moreover, this adventure may allow you to observe native bird species such as eagles, vultures, Eurasian goshawks, and owls. The region teems with avifauna, including herons, great bustards, partridges, and stone-curlews, among various other species.
Upon landing in a secure area near our starting point, we will celebrate with a glass of cava and indulge in a delightful picnic featuring chorizo, cheese, salchichón, and rustic breadsticks, complemented by fruit juice and mineral water. Vegan options will also be available for those who wish.
We will wrap up this remarkable 3-hour experience by presenting a flight certificate to commemorate your soaring adventure above Guadarrama Park.
