A hot air balloon ride is an aerial adventure where a large balloon filled with heated air lifts a basket, allowing passengers to float above the ground. The heat is generated by a burner that ignites propane gas, making the air inside the balloon lighter than the cooler air outside. This difference in temperature creates lift, enabling the balloon to ascend. During the ride, passengers can enjoy stunning views of the landscape below, as the balloon drifts gently with the wind. Flights typically last about an hour, and they often take place during early morning or late afternoon when the weather is calm and visibility is best.
