Then we will proceed to climb into the basket to ascend to 100 meters high for an estimated time of 20 minutes. We will be hooked at all times to giant ropes nailed to the ground. • We will see the Andean city of Cusco and the Sacsayhuamán fortress, one of the greatest architectural works of the Incas. • We will also observe the Pukamuqu mountain and part of the Andes mountain range from a bird's eye view. • When we get off the airship, we will toast with a glass of champagne and have a picnic breakfast to replenish our energy.

Teenage daughter and I, 1st time in Cusco

The breakfast was aMaZiNg and very satisfying. Having said that, my daughter had never been in a balloon. She absolutely loved it. Everyone was so nice. We had a nice view of the city from the hills surrounding Cuzco. We went in June. It was very cold. Wear layers. I highly recommend this experience!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌞🎈 We're thrilled to hear that both the breakfast and the balloon experience were unforgettable for you and your daughter — what a special moment for her first flight! Cusco is magical from above, and we're so glad you got to enjoy those views (even with the chilly June weather ❄️). Great tip on the layers! We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Peru! Warm regards from the entire Izi Peru team 🇵🇪✨

Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru cost?

+

Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru take?

+

Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cusco : Hot Air Balloon Flight - Over The Landscapes of Peru start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
