The Hot Air Balloon and Cave Breakfast package flies you over Teotihuacan at sunrise and then seats you for a traditional Mexican breakfast inside a natural cave at La Gruta, for MX$2,590 per person.
We had our first hot air balloon experience this morning and it was a true once in a lifetime experience. I was nervous leading up to our experience but the entire organization was top notch and professional. Our pilot Antonio was terrific! He was fun, professional and made the experience even that much better. If visiting the Mexico City area I couldn’t recommend this company and experience any more!
A great way to start your morning!! View was great, Antonio, the pilot, was amazing. He has 14 years of experience and he showed his skill to us and safely flew and landed the balloon. We had a toast after as well to celebrate and it was apparently a tradition having a toast after flying! If you are afraid of heights, give it a shot still. It was worth it and super safe. Kudos to the other staffs as well they are very friendly and accommodating.
Two unforgettable moments in one morning: a sunrise balloon flight over the pyramids and a breakfast inside a cave. La Gruta sits a few minutes from the archaeological zone, and it serves its tables under a natural rock vault lit by candles and daylight.
Your morning starts at the launch field with coffee and an English safety briefing. The pilot flies 45 to 60 minutes at sunrise, lands, and pours a sparkling-wine toast.
Then you sit down at La Gruta for a traditional Mexican breakfast. The whole plan takes about 6 hours. Add round-trip transport from Mexico City during checkout if you do not have a car.
