Description

With this balloon ride over Cusco we will enjoy the best views of the city, in addition to contemplating the enormous complex of the Inca fortress of Sacsayhuamán.
We will pick you up from the meeting point in Cusco and we will set off towards the Sacsayhuamán site, the place where an exciting balloon ride will take place.

First of all, we will see the inflation process of the ship and we will observe how the hot air rises and inflates the balloon. Then we will proceed to climb into the basket to ascend to 100 meters high for an estimated time of 20 minutes. We will be hooked at all times to giant ropes nailed to the ground.

We will see the Andean city of Cusco and the Sacsayhuamán fortress, one of the greatest architectural works of the Incas. Apart from serving as a defense during the time of the Spanish conquest, it is believed that it was a place of worship to the Sun god.

We will also observe the Pukamuqu mountain and part of the Andes mountain range from a bird's eye view. A unique image that will remain engraved in your retinas.

When we get off the airship, we will toast with a glass of champagne and have a picnic breakfast to replenish our energy. Did you know that the toast after the flight is a tradition?

Finally we will return to Cusco.
