In a balloon, everything moves at the same pace, and there are no rapid motion cues, so the brain does not register immediate danger. Additionally, the basket creates a sense of security, and the distance to the ground is perceived more abstractly, like viewing a distant landscape. All of this makes the experience calm and unlikely to trigger vertigo.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"978\" src=\"https:\/\/globusemporda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/viaje-en-globo-vertigo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3602\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globusemporda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/viaje-en-globo-vertigo.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globusemporda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/viaje-en-globo-vertigo-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globusemporda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/viaje-en-globo-vertigo-768x734.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El secreto est\u00e1 en el movimiento suave y la percepci\u00f3n del cerebro When we ride in a hot air balloon, our brain does not interpret height the same way it does in situations like standing on a cliff or looking down from a tall building.
