This was a truly amazing and special experience. Pick up was easy, great coffee and snacks and the Balloon ride was out of this world. So peaceful and calm, and our guide gave us great information about the landscape. The post-landing breakfast was delicious. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone coming to the Atacama Desert

Breathtaking experience. Watching the sun appear over the Andes from a hot air balloon is not something to forget! The guides were so nice and informative, both spoke English Spanish and Portuguese and were good at explaining to everyone. Afterwards we have some treats and champagne, they even knew it was someone’s birthday and they brought a cake! Highly recommended (a little pricey, but personally worth it)
