Join us on a hot air balloon ride from Mexico City and soar above the Teotihuacán Valley—an unforgettable experience, offering a unique perspective on one of the largest Mesoamerican civilizations. You'll then get admission tickets to explore Teotihuacán up close and go to a traditional artisan workshop with local product tasting!
Mexico City: Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride
We'll meet at the scheduled time at the Independence Angel statue in Mexico City and make our way to the take-off point. While we wait for the balloon to fill with air, we'll enjoy a coffee or a snack to fuel up. We'll then climb into the basket and set off on a journey through the skies in our hot air balloon.
We'll then ascend above the Teotihuacán Valley and admire the best views of the most visited and historically significant archaeological site in Mexico. The flight will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the weather conditions on the day. From the clouds, we'll get a fantastic birds-eye view of the "City of the Gods," admiring wonders such as the Sun Pyramid, the Quetzalpápalotl Palace, the Road of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Quetzalcoatl Temple.
Upon landing, we'll toast with sparkling wine and have a buffet breakfast to celebrate the experience. Plus, all participants will receive a certificate to accredit them as certified hot-air ballooners!
Teotihuacán Ruins Visit + Artisan Workshop
Back on the ground, you'll have around 2 hours to visit the Teothiuacán ruins. Walking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll enjoy the site's iconic ruins, and gain a deeper insight into their history.
But that's not all! We'll attend an artisan workshop to learn about Teotihuacán traditions and culture. We'll learn some of the uses of obsidian, the importance of the agave plant, how mead is fermented, and how silver pieces are made. As the finishing touch to this special day, we'll enjoy a tasting of pulque, tequila, cactus liqueur, and mezcal. Cheers!
After a day of excitement and cultural enrichment, we'll make our way back to the starting point, where we'll conclude our tour after 8 hours of activity.
