If you arrange your own transport, the standalone Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Ride starts from $1,990 MXN at the meeting point.

What time do you pick me up in Mexico City?

Pickup is early in the morning so we reach Teotihuacan before sunrise. Balloons launch at dawn when winds are calm and the light over the pyramids is best, so the early start is essential. We confirm your exact pickup time by WhatsApp.

The ALL INCLUSIVE Shared package ($3,300 MXN) uses a shared transfer with other travelers from Mexico City. The Shared + Private Transportation package ($3,400 MXN) keeps the shared flight experience but gives you a private vehicle from CDMX, ideal for couples, families or anyone wanting a more flexible pickup.

Yes. Every flight is operated by commercial pilots certified by Mexico's AFAC (Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil). Passenger insurance is included in every package.
