The flight usually lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes, during the trip cava toast  and crackling local pancake is served. It’s time to take photos with a panoramic view of  360 º around you.
  • The landing marks the end of our flight. The “chase crew” comes to collect the balloon and the passengers. Then we all come back to our facilities, unique and exclusive for the passengers,  and we celebrate the balloon adventure  with a brunch  consisting of roasted sausage and beans from Santa Pau, and bread with tomato spread on top served with an assortment of cured sausages, wine and a glass of Ratafia, a typical liquor from la Garrotxa.
