Family Hot Air Balloon Ride in Córdoba

Context The hot air balloon ride in Córdoba offers a unique aerial perspective of the city and its surrounding countryside. From above, you’ll see iconic landmarks such as the Mezquita-Catedral and the Roman Bridge, along with vast fields and the Guadalquivir River. The experience takes place just outside the city, where the balloon is inflated and prepared for flight. On clear days, the view extends up to 20 kilometers, offering expansive vistas of the region.

The Experience You’ll take part in assembling the balloon, hearing the distinctive sound of the burner heating the massive fabric. The flight lasts 60 to 90 minutes, moving slowly and calmly, with the cool morning breeze and the scent of the countryside accompanying your ascent. From the wicker basket, you’ll observe the historic city center and the Andalusian countryside as the balloon glides gently across the sky. After landing, you’ll share a traditional Andalusian breakfast with cava, complete with a commemorative diploma and a video recording of your journey.

It is not suitable for children under 7, people with acrophobia, heart conditions, or those under the influence of alcohol or medications that affect alertness.
