Location

Windpassenger's base in Coruche is located in the Monte da Barca Industrial Zone. This area, due to its open space and access characteristics, frequently serves as a starting point for hot air balloon flights.

The Flying Experience

Windpassenger offers the opportunity to experience a hot air balloon flight over the Coruche landscape. It is a serene and distinct way to observe the territory. The sensation on board is one of floating gently, carried by the wind current, without the usual perception of speed. The aerial route is not predetermined; it is the wind that defines the path, making each flight unique.

Aerial Views

From the balloon basket, participants enjoy panoramic and privileged views over the region. It is possible to admire the diversity of the Coruche landscape from an unusual perspective. The contours of the fields, water lines, and other natural and constructed elements reveal themselves in a different way when observed from above.

The Route and Landing

A typical flight has a duration that can vary, generally lasting between fifty and ninety minutes in the air. The journey culminates with a smooth landing in a suitable location, chosen by the ground crew and the pilot, depending on wind conditions. This moment is an integral part of the experience.

Post-Flight Tradition

After landing, there is a ritual that marks the end of the aerial journey. It is a moment of traditional celebration that often includes a toast, symbolizing the success and beauty of the experience lived in the sky. This classic gesture concludes the activity before returning to the initial meeting point.
