When: October 6-15, 2026

Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city, is home to the world’s largest hot air balloon event. Attending the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta has long since been a “wish list” trip for many, and in 2026, Land Cruise can make it a reality. What a sight it will be to see nearly 600 hot air balloons as they glow in the evenings and mass ascend in the morning!

In addition to the excitement of the Balloon Fiesta, there is much to see and do and learn before returning home. Break up the long travel days with attractions that will lift your spirits, stir your soul, and warm your heart along the way.
