Sacred Valley Hot Air Balloon

Sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Sacred Valley. Early morning (pre-dawn) meet in the Valley (near Maras/Urubamba) and watch the crew inflate the balloon. Then drift gently up as the sun lights the Andean peaks and the patchwork of fields below. The flight lasts about 45–60 minutes, reaching heights that afford 360° views of the Urubamba River, Maras Salt Mines, Moray (from afar), and surrounding villages. It's a calm, silent flying experience apart from the occasional burner flame. Upon landing, celebrate with a toast or breakfast. This once-in-a-lifetime experience provides a serene and awe-inspiring perspective on the Sacred Valley.
