Overview

Start your day floating silently above the Atacama Desert at sunrise, watching the first light paint Licancabur Volcano and the endless salt flats in soft pinks and golds from a private hot air balloon basket. After landing with sparkling wine and snacks, slip away for a romantic horseback ride through the Salt Mountain Range, just the two of you and your guide, trotting past surreal rock formations and quiet canyons.

Later, soak together in the steaming natural pools of Puritama hot springs at 3,000 meters, the mineral-rich water easing muscles while the Andean landscape surrounds you. End with a candlelit dinner at La Franchuteria, savoring French cuisine paired with chilled Champagne under the desert stars.

This private full-day romance includes shared transport for the balloon, private vehicle for the rest, hotel pickups/drop-offs, and every moment tailored for two.

Real talk: balloon flights need clear skies (reschedule if cloudy), and the day starts very early—dress warmly for the desert chill.

Exclusive for couples; book ahead for peak season.

What to Expect from the Tour

Here's practical advice to help your romantic day go perfectly, based on common experiences with weather, activities, and pacing. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.

  • Gear essentials. Warm layers for the pre-dawn balloon (desert mornings drop cold), long pants for horseback, swimwear/towel for Puritama, hat, sunscreen, and camera aren't optional. Several couples said the balloon chill fades fast once airborne—windbreaker helps.
  • Balloon ride. Gentle and quiet—sunrise glow on Licancabur often leaves people speechless. Guests loved the intimate basket feel; pilot adjusts for best views.
  • Horseback romance. Private ride means just you two and guide—horses are calm. Couples enjoyed trotting side-by-side through canyons, pausing for photos.
  • Puritama hot springs. Natural pools stay warm year-round—perfect for soaking together. Guests called it relaxing after the morning rush.
  • Dinner finale. La Franchuteria's French menu and Champagne feel special under the stars. People said the intimate setting capped the day perfectly.
  • Group setup. Fully private—your couple only. Past guests loved the exclusivity and flexibility.
  • Best time to visit. Year-round, but May to October (dry season) for clearest balloon sunrises and calm weather. Guests early 2026 noted June-July mornings delivered vivid colors.
Month/Season Upsides Downsides Recommended Start Time
May-Oct (Dry) Clear skies, best sunrise views Colder mornings Very early (5-6 AM)
Dec-Apr (Wet) Greener desert tones Possible clouds/rain Early to catch light

Common issues. Balloon needs perfect weather—reschedule if cloudy/windy. Guests found the day long but romantic; dress in layers. Weight supplement over 110 kg for balloon.
