About this activity

Experience Teotihuacan Pyramids from the sky!! Be part of a magical and colorful hot air balloon adventure. We will pick you up at your hotel in Mexico City around 6:00 am for a 1 hour drive to Teotihuacan. At sunrise we will prepare and inflate the hot-air balloon with the rest of your group (6-10 people) and as soon as it leaves the ground it's an unforgettable experience. Feel the excitement of admiring the Sun and Moon temples from 2000 feet above the ground and admire the beautiful green valley, volcanoes and mountains during the flight.

After landing, receive your certificate and celebrate with a glass of champagne to give thanks to the wind, fire, water and mother earth for allowing us to have this experience. On Saturdays and Sundays, enjoy an included buffet breakfast. Then we will drop you off at the Teotihuacan pyramids around 9:30 am so you can walk at your own pace and admire them from the bottom as well (entrance is not included, it costs around 57 pesos p/person). You will have the opportunity to hire a guide if you wish once you are there as well. We will pick you up around 1:00 pm and bring you back to Mexico City!!

Only after our balloon tour did we learn that everybody else on our trip had been offered a specific tour of the ruins - which was an additional charge. Bubbly (as in sparkling wine or champagne was advertised) but not available Watch out for hotel pickup if you are doing this trip on a Sunday - due to the regular marathon in Mexico city, you will be asked to get yourself to a designated meeting point Know before you go that if there are low cross winds you may have a very bumpy landing and, as was our case, the basket may tip over completely Be prepared for long waiting times while they prepare the balloon and at the end of the flight when the balloon is being packed away (20 - 25 minutes) On a more uplifting note the pilots are very professional and it is a wonderful feeling to fly so high, with such an unrestricted view. Warning - if you don't like heights they do fly very high

It was an awesome adventure! Do not miss the opportunity to soar above the Pyramids! The entire experience was timed very well. Pick up from our hotel was on time. Recommend you wear tennis shoes, hat and a jacket because it was cool. The landing was very smooth. Breakfast afterwards was great and had the opportunity to hire a tour guide for the pyramids. We were back at the hotel by 2:30 so had plenty of time to do sightseeing afterwards.

The experience is amaizing bit since there is a third part some information through emails might be lost. In tripadvisor said the fees for the pyrimides were 70 mex pesos and once there it was 75... not much difference really but when its not your money and you try to have enough for a day its kind of complicated. They change the price for 2019, and nobody care about my reservation and everything was said there. But the expierence itself... its a must do!

this was an exiting excursion. The balloon flew over The Sun Pyramid and the Moon Pyramid. I asked the guide why we were nmot going to the other pyramid.... he said That area is closed because mercury was found. Neddless to say, as we were on foot in Teotihuacan we never made it to the mercury infested side . The next day I went on another excursion to Teotihuacan which took us straight to the side not shown to us in the hot air balloon tour. It is the most beautiful pyramid in Teotihuacan. It was open...No Mercury!!!! Did that hot air balloon guide lied to me?

Great experience and worth the price. When confirming, it is better to contact them over the phone. Although the provide an email and gchat numbers, they went ignored.
