Totglobo

Totglobo is a hot-air balloon company that has flown passengers since 1998. Its main area is the Serra de Mariola Natural Park, with departure from Bocairent, where it has its registered office; the commercial office is in Russafa, in Valencia. It is registered in the Valencian Community active-tourism register under number TA-4-V.

Safety and authorisations

The company says it is authorised by the State Aviation Safety Agency, which inspects it periodically, and that its pilots are licensed by AESA to fly passengers. The balloons are checked according to technical and legal protocols, and passengers are covered by an insurance policy. The Generalitat recognises it as a tourist-services company of the Parcs Naturals brand.

Where it flies
