Description

Flights take off at dawn, when the air is at its calmest. You arrive at the launch site with the first light, and the first thing you see is the balloon being unrolled and inflated from scratch: that is part of the show. After the safety briefing you climb into the basket.

Then comes roughly an hour of flight over the Ribeira Sacra. From above you can see the Sil canyons, the terraced vineyards clinging to the river and the monasteries of the region, in silence and with almost no sense of movement, because a balloon travels at the speed of the wind.

After landing, a chase vehicle brings you back to the starting point and the morning ends with a sparkling wine celebration and a picnic meal. Counting the inflation, the flight and the return, the whole activity takes three to four hours.

Each participant receives a flight certificate and a video with a photo report. It is a calm experience with no physical effort involved.

About the Area

The Ribeira Sacra occupies the canyons of the Sil and Miño rivers, between Lugo and Ourense, a landscape of dizzying slopes cultivated in heroic vineyard terraces and dotted with the highest concentration of Romanesque monasteries and churches in Galicia. Sober, on the Lugo riverbank, is one of its gateways, near the viewpoints over the Sil canyon and the catamaran piers. From the air, the narrow meanders, hanging vineyards, and riverside groves can be seen. Access is from Monforte de Lemos, well connected by the N-120 and the train.
