Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride from Mexico City + Tickets
Mexico City: Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride
We'll meet at the scheduled time at the chosen meeting point. From this point in Mexico City, we'll hop into a minibus and make our way to the take-off point.
As soon as we arrive, we'll see the process of how the balloon fills with air while we enjoy a coffee or a snack to fuel up. We'll then climb into the basket and set off on a journey through the skies in our hot air balloon.
We'll then ascend above the Teotihuacán Valley and admire the best views of the most visited and historically significant archaeological site in Mexico. The flight will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the weather conditions on the day. From the clouds, we'll get a fantastic birds-eye view of the "City of the Gods," admiring wonders such as the Sun Pyramid, the Quetzalpápalotl Palace, the Road of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Quetzalcoatl Temple.
Upon landing, we'll toast with sparkling wine and have a buffet breakfast at the La Higuera restaurant to celebrate the experience. Plus, all participants will receive a certificate to accredit them as certified hot-air ballooners!
Teotihuacán Ruins Visit + Artisan Workshop
Back on the ground, you'll have around 2 hours to visit the Teothiuacán ruins on foot. Walking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll enjoy the site's iconic ruins, and gain a deeper insight into their history. If you have opted for the guided tour, you'll be accompanied by an expert on the Mexican culture.
But that's not all! We'll attend an artisan workshop to learn about Teotihuacán traditions and culture. 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.
Finally, we'll return by minibus to the starting point in Mexico City, where we'll conclude this 8-hour activity.
