Federico – Italy

We were picked up at the set time (5.15) and drove 20 minutes outside San Pedro where we were offered a breakfast while the balloon was inflated. We flew for over an hour up to 1000 meters and landed softly and close to a road where the driver picked us up. Felt very safe, lots of interesting explanations about the air balloons and Atacama. Memorable, for the good reasons.
