A photographic safari at the taste of the wind

If you have ever dreamed of leaving the ground onboard of a hot air balloon and fly where the wind carries you, this is a very feasible dream to have. There are more than ten agencies in São Paulo to organize your tour, that you could treat as a photo safari. All the tours reunite contact with nature and a fantastic opportunity to create beautiful images.
In Turkey, in the region of Capadocia, the balloon flights are even more common than in São Paulo. A little bit more expensive also. Expect to pay something around 100 euros per person for this kind of expedition. But rest assured that every single penny you spend is worth the experience.
Balloon flights are calm and fun. Guaranteed fun even for children. There are smaller balloons that transport from 4 to 6 people, and the larger versions, even for 20 people squeezed in the basket. Prefer the smaller versions for better views during the flight. The duration of the flight varies from 45 minutes to an hour something. The sensation is to calmly float through the air. The take off is subtle and delicious!
The flights departure very early, in São Paulo or in Capadocia you must be ready to fly at 5 a.m. After landing, a glass of champagne is served to each one participating in the flight. In Turkey, take extra coats, hats and scarves, as it is very cold in Capadocia at 5 a.m in the morning. And you get to experience one of the most unforgettable sunrises of your life, with your feet suspended almost 200 meters above the ground!
