Questions

Balloon ride questions, answered

Why is this ride the cheapest option?

It is our flight-only experience: you pay for the essential sunrise balloon ride over the pyramids without add-ons like transport from Mexico City or a cave breakfast. That keeps the price at $1,990 MXN (down from $2,790), making it the most affordable way to fly over Teotihuacan with certified pilots and insurance included.

What's included in the $1,990 MXN?

The price includes the sunrise hot air balloon flight over the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan, certified pilots, passenger insurance and a celebratory toast on landing. The full experience lasts about one hour including preparation. If weather does not permit a safe flight, we reschedule at no cost.

What time does it depart and how long is it?

Balloons take off at sunrise, around 6:00 AM year-round — please arrive 30 minutes early. The full experience lasts about one hour including the pre-flight preparation, the time aloft over the pyramids and the toast on landing.

Does it include transport from Mexico City?

No — this flight-only ride does not include transport, which is why it is the lowest price. If you want round-trip transport from Mexico City you can add it during booking, or choose our All Inclusive package. The launch point is in Teotihuacan, Estado de México.

Is it safe, and can I bring my phone?

Yes. Every flight is operated by certified pilots with passenger insurance included, and you are welcome to bring your phone or camera on board to capture the sunrise over the pyramids.
