Cultural Travel

At Cultural Travel we organize balloon flights over the south of Spain and the most prominent areas of Andalusia such as Guadix, Granada, Ronda, Antequera, Seville, Córdoba and Almería .

We will set our appointment at dawn, since early in the day is the most appropriate meteorological time to ascend with guarantees. We will usually meet around 8 a.m., although the exact time will vary depending on the time of year, in order to take advantage of the wind conditions that will help us fly aboard the aircraft.

Once at the meeting point:

• We will begin by preparing the material, which will make the complete experience from the beginning last between 3 and 4 hours. You will be able to participate in this process if you wish and better understand how a hot air balloon works.

• We will fly over the area decided in advance by the participants for approximately 1 hour.

• After landing we had a typical breakfast and distributed the personalized flight diplomas that will help us remember the event.

It will be recommended that you come with comfortable, warm clothing and sports shoes.

* We work for groups of at least 20 people.

At Cultural Travel we want you to know as well as we do the natural treasures of Sierra Nevada through our hiking routes. So that you can repeat without having to resort to the same scenarios, we have various options, the result of the combination of urban and rural landscapes:

• From the town of Monachil: this tour takes us back in history to the archaeological sites of Cerro de la Encina, belonging to the Bronze Age. We will also have the option of contemplating the Casa de las Aragonas, from the 15th century.

• From Güejar Sierra, a town that takes us into the interior of the Sierra Nevada National Park, with views of the Mulhacén peak, the Genil river and the Vereda de la Estrella.

• The Moorish region of Tahá de Pitres, made up of 7 urban centers whose foundation has its roots in Al-Andalus.

At Cultural Travel we offer you a different way to get to know your tourist destination through a route on our all-terrain vehicles.

Our 4x4 routes are available in two variants, inside and outside Spain:

• Without leaving Granada: a journey from the northern slope of Sierra Nevada through which we head towards the Gorafe desert towards the walnut forests scattered throughout these mountains. It can be done at any time of the year, preferably in the absence of snow.

• In Morocco: an adventure through the singularities of the neighboring country in which we will have as a guide a Berber driver who will be the one who best conveys to us the knowledge of his own culture. We will see the contrast between the desert, its crowded markets and the coast.

In both cases we will have Toyota brand vehicles with a total capacity for 7 passengers, health care and repatriation insurance (in case of leaving the country).

Our guides and pilots will be in charge of taking you along the most beautiful and fun roads for a fully fledged 4x4 adventure.
