Hot Air Balloon Rides in Albuquerque, NM
We often get asked, “why is Albuquerque the balloon capital of the world and so popular for flying?”
Stabile wind patterns and temperatures are key to a successful hot air balloon flight, and Albuquerque has the perfect combination of these elements.
The “Albuquerque Box” is another term for the ideal conditions here. The predictable wind patterns make navigating a balloon fairly simple. At lower elevations in the Rio Grande Valley, where Albuquerque sits, the winds are southerly. At higher elevations the winds are northerly. So balloon pilots can launch their hot air balloon from Balloon Fiesta Park, drift down the Valley, catch another wind current and drift back north and land near the place they started. Albuquerque’s cool morning temperatures also make it easier to fly a balloon. These fantastic weather conditions in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas, have made it unmistakable for being the best place to fly hot air balloons.
