Description

The Las Tuerces Natural Monument, in the Montaña Palentina, is a protected area with karst rock formations reminiscent of Turkish Cappadocia. This space is part of the Las Loras Geopark, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hot air balloon flights allow you to contemplate this singular landscape from 300 to 600 meters above, where the wind brings the fresh scent of the mountains.

You begin by participating in the inflation and assembly of the hot air balloon in Villaescusa de las Torres. After a gentle ascent, you enjoy approximately one hour of flight, contemplating the rocky shapes and the karst landscape from the air. The silence is broken only by the balloon's burner, while the fresh air caresses your face. You finish with a safe landing, disassembly, and a cava toast accompanied by photos and videos of the flight.

This activity is ideal for those seeking a peaceful and safe experience, nature and geology lovers who wish to discover the Las Loras Geopark from an aerial perspective. It is not suitable for people with a fear of heights, reduced mobility without prior consultation, or very young children.

The local community of Villaescusa de las Torres keeps the aeronautical tradition and the conservation of the natural environment alive. The area combines geological and cultural heritage, with hiking routes and nearby historical sites such as Aguilar de Campoo, enriching the visit.
