About this activity
Welcome to the magical and incredibly colorful world of hot-air ballooning! Climb aboard one of the beautiful balloons and experience the excitement, beauty and tranquility of flying over one of Mexico's most famous landmarks and UNESCO World Heritage site, the Teotihuacan Pyramids. Enjoy the majestic aesthetic setting of the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon seen from above.
That first moment when your hot-air balloon leaves the ground is unforgettable. Each voyage becomes a personal adventure as you sail effortlessly through the sky, becoming the envy of all earthbound spectators as you enjoy panoramic views of Mexico's spectacular landscapes.
Flight duration is approximately one hour and the exact route is dictated by wind patterns. A four-wheel drive vehicle will follow below at all times, communicated by radio. After landing, the vehicle will take you to the meeting point where you'll celebrate with a glass of wine and a flight certificate, a valuable reminder of the once-in-a-lifetime experience you have just enjoyed.
If the optional guided Teotihuacan tour is selected, you'll continue to the famous archeological site to see the pyramids up close. Some must-see landmarks include the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, the Temple of Quetzalpapalotl and the Avenue of the Dead.
Only 31 miles (50km) northeast of Mexico City are the archeological vestiges of the city of Teotihuacan itself, as well as myriad remnants of fine pottery from Teotihuacan which are today exhibited around the world.

This truly lived to its billing. The price was higher than many things in a very inexpensive city but this group delivered in a fabulous way. Seeing sunrise over ancient pyramids from beautiful balloons is surreal and a lifetime memory.
people can get same trip with lower cost around. pickup service was poor.
The hot air balloon tour over the Pyramids is a definite must do for any photographer or nature lover. Seeing these ancient ruins from that perspective is a totally different experience to seeing them from the ground up. The ride is very smooth and gives you plenty of time to take amazing photos and take in the nature and surrounds. The early morning shadows and clear skies provide an amazing backdrop for the photos and videos. Truly an amazing experience and I am fortunate to have been able to do it.
Great trip, great guide, and great experience.
What a fantastic way to see the Teotihuacan Pyramids! The pilot was very knowledgeable about the Pyramids and the area, answering everyone's questions. Plus, he and the crew did a great job of getting us off the ground and back down safely. The basket holds eight, but was comfortable. You have to get up early and it's about an hour shuttle ride to the Pyramids, but it was worth it.
The balloon was ride was a lot of fun. We did have to wait maybe an hour before actually getting into the balloon, but that was fine. I was freezing, and they ran a blanket over to the balloon before we lifted off which was really thoughtful of them. Our tour guide for the pyramids was EXCELLENT. Knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Spoke English very well.
