Cappadocia has a unique natural landscape. Cappadocia is, first of all, the Valley of Peribajalara (“Magic fireplaces” or “fireplaces”) and the remains in the form of stone pillars of bizarre forms and outlines.
In the territory of Cappadocia, there were previously existing volcanoes, the largest of which – Hassan, Erjes, Medendiz and Gylludag – once threw ash and lava. Over time, the ashes turned into tuff, and the lava into the basalt, which covered the soft tuff rock with a thin layer. Climate change in the region launched the work of other natural forces: precipitation, wind and rivers carved their patterns from the tuf.
Conducting a tour, tourists get the opportunity to see the natural beauty of the region from a bird’s eye view of a bird’s flight: the valley of peribajalara and carved in the rocks of the house and monasteries.
Balloon flights are executed an average of 300 days a year. In recent years, these flights have become the main factor attracting tourists to Cappadocia, included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
