Description

Aranjuez, declared a World Heritage Site, offers a unique setting for hot air balloon flights. Its royal gardens and the Royal Palace stretch alongside the Tagus and Jarama rivers, creating a landscape where history and nature converge. The flight takes place at sunrise, when the golden light bathes the surroundings and the air is fresh and pure.

After a briefing where rules are explained and you participate in the balloon's preparation, the takeoff is felt with the characteristic sound of the burner. For approximately one hour, you fly over the gardens and the palace in absolute silence, with the sensation that it is the earth moving beneath the basket. Upon landing in a rural area, you enjoy a picnic with local products and a toast with cava, while the fresh air carries scents of the countryside.

This activity is ideal for families with children over 6 years old, couples seeking an intimate experience, and lovers of heritage and nature. It is not suitable for people with reduced mobility or an intense fear of heights.

Aranjuez is known for its royal tradition and its gardens designed since the 18th century. The local community keeps the typical gastronomy alive, which is reflected in the picnic with Guijuelo cured meats and artisanal cheeses, thus celebrating the culture of the place.
