In the past it might have seemed like science fiction, but today tourist trips to the stratosphere are a reality, and we tell you how to take part in this innovative and exclusive experience.
Many science fiction films have been dedicated to space travel, probably because human beings have always had the need to explore and get to know unknown places, to move around and appropriate them, and space has been one of those places that has generated the most curiosity. Space tourism is born of this yearning to inhabit distant and unexplored places. Today, tourist trips to the stratosphere are a reality, promising a unique and unforgettable experience.

The unique journey will consist of carrying 7 people plus a pilot in a pressurised capsule lifted by a stratospheric gas balloon to altitudes of up to 40km above sea level. The trip, which will last 5 hours, will be similar to a first class flight, as passengers will not need to wear a space suit and will not experience strong accelerations, allowing them to enjoy the experience without strict physical requirements.
This tour also includes access to wifi, bathroom and a non-alcoholic bar area. What’s more, inside the pressurised capsule, passengers will have screens and a 360º panoramic view of the planet, allowing them to observe the curvature of the earth and the blue halo.
