The region’s valleys, rock formations, and the slow glow of the horizon create what many describe as an almost surreal atmosphere. For most guests, the early moments — when the balloons begin to lift off the ground — are the most intense. The quietness, the soft movement of the air, and the wide-open landscape come together to create what several visitors call “a moment where time slows down.”
One guest summarized the experience in a 5-star review from November 2025: “Today I lived one of the most incredible moments of my life. Watching the balloons being prepared was already enchanting, but once we lifted off, the view was overwhelming in the best way. The sunrise made everything even more powerful. I felt completely safe, and the team was exceptionally attentive. This is a memory I’ll carry with me for a long time.” — Guest from Brazil
