Hot Air Balloon Flight – Mendoza Balloon

A hot air balloon ride is one of the most peaceful ways to discover Mendoza from above. Your experience begins in Barriales, in the Junín district, where the crew prepares the balloon for takeoff. Once in the air, you’ll float gently over vineyards, olive groves, and rural landscapes with the Andes Mountains framing the horizon. Each flight is unique, as the wind determines both direction and speed, making the journey a genuine encounter with nature.

For about 45 minutes to 1 hour, you’ll enjoy open views, spot local wildlife, and appreciate the patterns of Mendoza’s agricultural region from a new perspective. Balloon flights do not cause vertigo and are suitable for travelers seeking a calm and memorable aerial experience. Upon landing, you’ll receive a Flight Certificate to commemorate the journey—an opportunity to feel part of the sky while connecting with the land below.

What do you need for this tour?

Essential items

We suggest you to bring these items for personal use to make your excursion perfect:

Small backpack.
Extra mineral water.
Personal care items (lip balm with sunscreen, sunscreen, antibacterial gel/wipes, insect repellent).
Special clothing: comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather forecast and footwear suitable for the activity.

Safety tips: Inform the guide or driver about any illness, allergy or physical restriction. Remember to bring your medication and administration instructions.

Note: The best clothing for mountain activities is wool or synthetic materials in layers, as they dry quickly and keep warmth better. We suggest a base layer, then an intermediate layer, such as a light fleece coat or similar, and then a windproof and waterproof layer.
