Why choose Huasca de Ocampo for a hot air balloon flight? Simply because it is part of the "Pueblos Magicos" (Magical Towns) and, in fact, this was the first one with that name in Mexico. This place is at the end of a mountain in the beautiful state of Hidalgo.

In this colonial town you will start your adventure through the skies, enjoying a sunrise first, while you live the experience of watching the hot air balloons being set up and inflated. Generally in this experience you can take pictures at each stage of the activity.

Since this adventure usually begins before sunrise, we suggest you stay one day earlier, you will find wonderful options to stay in a cabin or hacienda, a true icon of Huasca. This way you will be able to rest and to be as good as new to enjoy your adventure on the next day, ready for the emotion. Some of these options include the entire package plus the transfers.

Once the hot-air balloons are 100% inflated and ready to fly, each group of people will climb into the basket listening to the instructions given by the certified pilot. We know that you will probably be nervous, but once the balloon is high up, you will be invaded by a peaceful sensation. In addition, the pilot will tell you everything you need to know about how the balloon works and the places it will fly over.

Along with the first rays of the sun, the most emblematic places of Huasca will be illuminated and, from the heights, you will see a perspective that you never imagined. You will be able to observe the famous Basaltic Prisms, the San Antonio dam, old colorful haciendas, its wooded grounds, ravines and churches. Depending on the package and the company you have decided to fly with, at the end of the flight you will be offered a delicious breakfast with typical local dishes from Hidalgo, a toast with the pilot and you will receive a certificate that you have had this wonderful experience.

The aspects that we suggest you take into account before the flight are the following:

- The company owns an approved regulation certificate provided by the Mexico’s Air State Security Agency.

- Come dressed in comfortable clothes and sports shoes. We suggest that you wear a hat or cap to protect you from the heat that the balloon engine produces.

- Check the weather conditions of the day you would like to fly, because remember that this is an activity that depends exclusively on the weather. In case it cannot be carried out, get in touch with the company to learn what will happen to your reservation.

- Check the maximum capacity of the balloon and check that the minimum and safety limits are met since an exceeding the number of people could cause an accident.

- You can't place any packages or accessories on the basket’s floor, so bear in mind that you will be asked to leave them in the car or room. Remember that weight is essential in this activity.

Another thing you should decide as it will determine the group of friends or family you'll be flying with, is whether you'll book a shared hot air balloon flight. Remember, if you would prefer not to fly with other people you don't know this means you will have to book a private hot air balloon flight. Nonetheless, you'll find options for couple's balloon flights.

Within the private or couple flight options, you will find offers that include canvases to see from the heights so that you can print a messages such as "Happy birthday" , or "Will you marry me?

Other options will offer you to live the experience to the fullest while you have a glass of wine or a snack. Without a doubt, flying in a balloon has become one of the favourite air sports for romantics.

This wonderful experience has to be lived once in a lifetime, and what better way to do it than in the company of your favourite people of the world. Unlike other air and altitude sports, flying on a hot air balloon is enjoyed with an unparalleled peace and tranquility, of course, combined with the magic and natural charm of the place where you will be flying.
