Optional Hot Air Balloon Ride in Teotihuacan $210 p/p

Your day in Teotihuacan begins at 6:30 a.m. with your arrival at the facility. Now get comfortable for a coffee break with hot coffee or tea and cookies while you watch the balloons inflate. It’s a sight you can’t miss. Remember to pack your jacket or coat and camera. Your pilot will call you and meet you as soon as your balloon is ready so you can see it up close.

Go out to the flight area to see the hot air balloons about to begin their journey. Take photos from the angle you like best, and wait for the signal when it’s time to climb into the basket. Once you’re up in the air, you’ll need to be ready; remember that you won’t be able to get out of the balloon for your safety. But don’t worry, starting the takeoff is undoubtedly the most fun part of the balloon ride. Enjoy a unique view. Be amazed by all the hot air balloons that will fly alongside you, the beautiful scenery, and the most anticipated experience: the pyramids of Teotihuacan.

You’ll be so close to the Archaeological Site that you’ll even be able to see the tops of the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon without climbing them. Don’t miss the opportunity to take lots of photos of your favorite moments from the trip. Yes, you were waiting for it. Your pilot will find the perfect moment to uncork a bottle of sparkling wine, a must on every balloon flight since 1783. Cheers! At the end of the ride. Breakfast included.
