Hot Air Balloon Ride

If you've always wanted to take a hot air balloon ride in the Philippines, then read this.

You can enjoy the hot air balloon ride at Fort Ilocandia in Ilocos. The ride lasts around 10 minutes, each person will be charged P800.00 on weekdays, P1,200.00 on weekends.

If you're a party of four, I suggest you take the ride two at a time. Each pair should have a camera, so that you can have photos from inside the hot air balloon (scenery), plus pictures (or even videos) of you floating upwards.

Wear bright colored shirts so that your pictures will look great!

(Now singing: Would you like to ride in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon...)

UPDATE: The hot air balloon rides are not seasonal, and some of my friends simply rode the balloon when they got to Fort Ilocandia. It would be better, though, to make a reservation and to find out if the ride truly is available ( i.e., weather conditions).
