1 / 10Travel in a hot air balloon and good wine in Casablanca valley
About this activity
Combine two iconic Santiago experiences in one unforgettable day: an hour-long hot air balloon flight over the Andes foothills at sunrise, followed by wine tasting and lunch at Casa del Bosque winery in the Casablanca Valley. This full-day adventure pairs adrenaline with Chilean gastronomy, offering both thrilling aerial photography and slow-paced wine country exploration.
We will begin our service by picking you up from your hotel and heading to the flight center near Casa Blanca or Huechuraba as a second option depending on availability.
We will fly in a hot air balloon for approximately one hour where we will be able to record the take off and take pictures at altitude, an unforgettable experience. Once the flight is over we will provide you with a snack as part of the service where you will be able to share the adventure of flying and we will head to Casa Blanca Valley soon to do our second exploration in which we want to combine adrenaline and the good wines of Chile.
The winery you will visit is Casa del Bosque where you will have lunch. In a country atmosphere we will enjoy the excellent cuisine of the restaurant. Then you will take the tour with the local guides, for about hour you will be learning more about wine and the tastings will be part of this unique moment to remember your flight and the wines.
After all the guide will organize the return to Santiago
Duration of the service: 8 hours.
