Bring along

What to bring

  • Closed, comfortable shoes: you take off and land in a field, sometimes on wet grass.
  • Layers: you fly at sunrise and it is chilly out in the country, even if the sun gets strong later.
  • A cap or hat and sunglasses.
  • Camera or phone with a strap: careful, anything dropped from the basket is gone.
ParticipantsMinors must fly with a responsible adult. Not recommended for pregnant women, anyone recently operated on, or children under 5. If you are a large group or want a private flight, write to us.
Important information

Important information

  • Booking on request: the flight is not confirmed automatically. We check availability and the weather forecast and confirm in writing, usually within 24 hours. Until then the booking is not guaranteed.
  • You fly at sunrise: the meeting time is very early, before the sun is up, because that is when the air is calm. You get the exact time the day before.
  • The weather decides: if the pilot cancels for safety, the flight is rescheduled at no cost. There is no flying in strong wind, rain or fog.
  • Confirmation the day before: the team calls or writes the previous afternoon to confirm the time and the meeting point.
  • Mobility: you climb into the basket over the edge, about 1.10 m high. If you have reduced mobility, tell us before booking.
  • Restrictions: not recommended for pregnant women, anyone recently operated on, or children under 5. Minors fly with an adult.
  • Diet: tell us about any dietary restrictions for the lunch when you book.

Flying over Aranjuez

A different way of looking at the Cultural Landscape of Aranjuez: seeing this World Heritage Site from where only the birds see it.

The adventure begins at daybreak, when the cool morning air allows a smooth, silent ascent over the meanders of the Tagus. From up there, the perfect geometry of the Royal Palace and the whole Royal Site suddenly makes sense.

During the flight, the golden light of sunrise bathes the white stone and red brick of the palace façade and brings out the symmetry of the Prince's Garden and the Island Garden. The calm of the flight leaves time to take in every detail of the Enlightenment town planning as you float over the historic groves and market gardens that made the area famous.

Back on the ground, the experience ends with the traditional toast, the country-style brunch and the presentation of your flight certificate.

How the morning goes

  • Before sunrise: meet the team, then set-up and inflation of the balloon. You can lend a hand if you like.
  • The flight: about an hour in the air, in silence, apart from the occasional roar of the burner.
  • Landing and celebration: cava toast, country-style brunch and certificate.
  • Total duration: about 3 hours from start to finish.

More than a balloon ride: the calmest and most unusual way to understand Aranjuez.
