Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride

  • 677 reviews | 10,308 travellers
    We loved flying over the pyramids, of course, but some things could have been better. There was no feeling of welcome while we were waiting for the van nor when we boarded it. We were told this was an English speaking tour but mostly we were addressed in Spanish. Finally, we paid to get photos of the experience, but the photographer sent the photos (not videos in our case) in such a way that we had to join WeTransfer ($11.99 US) to get them. Not right!

Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride

We'll meet at the scheduled time at the Independence Angel statue in Mexico City and make our way to the take-off point.

While we wait for the balloon to fill with air, we'll enjoy a coffee or a snack to fuel up. We'll then climb into the basket and set off on a unique trip through the skies.

You'll fly over the Teotihuacan Valley and admire the best views of the most visited archaeological site in Mexico. The flight will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the weather on the day.

From the clouds, we'll get a unique perspective on the "City of the Gods" admiring wonders such as the Sun Pyramid, the Quetzalpápalotl Palace, the "Road of the Dead", "Pyramid of the Moon" and Quetzalcoatl Temple.

Upon landing, we'll toast with sparkling wine and have a buffet breakfast to celebrate the experience. Plus, all participants will receive a certificate to accredit them as certified hot-air-ballooners!

Afterwards, you'll have around 2 hours to visit the Teothiuacán ruins at your own pace and discover this incredible site.

But that's not all! We'll attend an artisan workshop to learn about Teotihuacan customs. We'll learn some of the uses of obsidian, the importance of the agave plant, how mead is fermented and how silver pieces are made. As the finishing touch to this special day, we'll enjoy a tasting of pulque, tequila, cactus liqueur, and mezcal. Cheers!

Lastly, we'll make our back, ending the tour in Mexico City after 8 hours of fun.
