Up Alentejo

Knowing Portugal from above will no longer be a simple dream. From Up Alentejo, we give you the opportunity to fly over this wonderful Portuguese area in the most relaxing and romantic way possible.

We are a company created from the passion and love of hot air balloon flights. Our team is made up of experienced and specialized pilots who ensure that our service guarantees safety and quality. In addition, we have state-of-the-art balloons to be able to offer flights taking into account the comfort and safety of passengers.

Our facilities are located in the Vila Galé Country Club Hotel, in the Portuguese province of Alentejo. It is a great location for this type of tour since during 365 days of the year you can fly thanks to its weather conditions. The panoramic views from our balloons are spectacular and will leave you breathless when you experience it firsthand.

We offer two balloon flight routes from our facilities:

• Castro Verde Biosphere Reserve: it is located in the long plains of the Bajo Alentejo and the great variety of birds that inhabit the area such as the otidid and the little bustard stand out. Seeing these wonderful birds flying to the sound of the wind next to you will make this experience a perfect moment to connect with nature and disconnect from the outside.

• Alqueva Reservoir: one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. You will be able to see the islands of cork oaks and holm oaks from the alutras while enjoying incomparable panoramic views of the surrounding towns and their famous castles.

Regardless of the route you choose for your balloon ride, they will all develop in the same way. The activity will begin when you are picked up at the previously agreed meeting point and transported to the take-off area. Upon arrival, there will be a presentation of the flight team and a brief talk about the safety rules.

When the balloon is in a vertical position, you will get on it and the pilot will give you a second talk about the instructions and safety rules inside the hot air balloon. . All safety procedures will be carried out and our ground team will be in charge of following the balloon by radio communication and GPS.

Once the flight time is over, it will be time to land with the help of our entire team. Once on land, you will toast thesuccess of the flight and you will receive a flight certificate to make this experience unforgettable.

Our balloons are enabled for 14 people maximum and we fly every day of the year. Depending on the season, flights are carried out mainly at dawn (between April and September) and the rest of the year, it is advisable to fly after sunrise and before sunset. Even so, we will be in charge of organizing the routes depending on the weather conditions on the day of your reservation.

We are open every day, so contact us to organize your next balloon rideaerostatic.
