How much it costs to travel to the Grand Canyon?

Grand Canyon

Best to see the extent and majesty of the Grand Canyon is to do a helicopter tour, which allows you to have a spectacular aerial view of the entire area.

Although there are many companies that offer these services, and also allow you to make the trip from Las Vegas, in our case we drove south of the Grand Canyon side and contract with the company Papillon a helicopter tour of 45 minutes, called Imperial Air Tour, which cost about $ 140 per person.

The helicopter was part of the airport of the southern side of the Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park Airport, which is located on the outskirts of Tusayan. Your position in the helicopter is marked by the weight of individual staff members, so you can be lucky and go sit in the passenger seat or bad luck and go in the middle of three seats, but in any case the views obtained from the Grand Canyon are spectacular. 

Although we thought otherwise, we must recognize that we were surprised that the whole way the helicopter barely so moved it was very comfortable going into it, but can we had luck and weather conditions of the day we took the tour were perfect ...

After leaving the airport, and after a 5 minute crossing by an immense forest of ponderosa pines, a gap opens in the earth and you get into the Grand Canyon, definitely a great entry enhanced by music that sounds at that moment headphones helicopter. In addition to music, the headphones they'll indicating Spanish and English history of the same training data of the first explorations were conducted and other data of interest. The helicopter is airborne and is turning on itself so that both the left and the right of the helicopter enjoy these amazing views.

After about thirty-five minutes, which make us very short, the helicopter returns to base, leaving his mouth open for the experience.

Undoubtedly recommend this tour to everyone who they can afford. For those wanting to make this trip, I recommend they pick tickets in advance as they can enjoy discounts to purchase in advance through the internet, in our case it was 10% off. In the event that bad weather the barrel, usually suspend the tour and return you full money.
