The Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Ride is our lowest-priced sunrise flight near Mexico City: 45 to 60 minutes over the pyramids, coffee before take-off and a sparkling-wine toast on landing, for MX$2,100 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.
This is the essential Teotihuacan balloon flight: the same sunrise sky and the same pyramids as every other package, without extras you might not want. You drive yourself or add our round-trip transport from Mexico City for MX$1,500 per person during checkout.
You check in at the launch field before dawn, drink a coffee and join the English safety briefing. The pilot lifts off at sunrise and flies 45 to 60 minutes, following the wind over the valley and the archaeological zone.
The flight ends with a sparkling-wine toast and a personalised flight certificate. You spend about 3 hours at the launch field from check-in to the toast, so you still have the whole morning to walk the ruins.
