Itinerary
If you selected transportation, enjoy pick-up from the meeting point in Mexico City. And, if you did not select transportation, meet directly at the balloon port near Teotihuacan.
Arrive at the launch site as the sky begins to glow with the first light of day. Watch as massive balloons inflate around you, creating a colorful and magical scene. Then, meet your pilot for a short safety talk before boarding your private basket.
Gently lift off and rise above the Valley of Teotihuacán, a UNESCO World Heritage Site once considered one of the largest and most influential cities in the ancient Americas. As the morning sun bathes the landscape in gold, take in sweeping views of the perfectly aligned Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, the Avenue of the Dead, and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent). From this height, the scale and geometry of the city’s ceremonial core become strikingly clear, offering a rare perspective on the architectural mastery and spiritual significance of this pre-Hispanic metropolis. Your pilot will adjust the balloon’s altitude to give you both broad panoramic views and closer looks at the iconic landmarks below.
Touch down and toast your adventure with a glass of sparkling wine. Receive a personalized flight certificate as a keepsake. Professional photos will be available for purchase (not included in the price). Spend some free time exploring the landing area and enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
