Mexico City: Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloon Ride

We'll meet at the scheduled time at the chosen meeting point. From this point in Mexico City, we'll hop into a minibus and make our way to the take-off point.

As soon as we arrive, we'll see the process of how the balloon fills with air while we 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 at the La Higuera restaurant 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 on foot. Walking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll enjoy the site's iconic ruins, and gain a deeper insight into their history. If you have opted for the guided tour, you'll be accompanied by an expert on the Mexican culture.

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.

Finally, we'll return by minibus to the starting point in Mexico City, where we'll conclude this 8-hour activity.

La experiencia fue maravillosa. Pero no nos dejaron en el mismo punto de partida, tal como dice la descripción de la excursión. Quedamos a 4 km del hotel. Y debimos pagar un taxi, debiendo esto estar incluído en el pago. Teniendo esto en cuenta, lo demás es altamente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was wonderful. But they didn't drop us off at the starting point, as the tour description says. We ended up 4 km from the hotel. And we had to pay for a taxi, which should have been included in the price. With this in mind, the rest is highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Increíble! Fui con mi esposo y nos encantó la actividad. Recomendamos reservar la actividad de las pirámides con guía ya que la zona es demasiado grande para recorrer sin saber nada. Todo el personal es muy amable. Arturo fue nuestro conductor y el guía Julio también nos entretuvo mucho con toda la historia de la zona. Translate this opinion into English.

Amazing! I went with my husband and we loved the activity. We recommend booking the pyramid tour with a guide, as the area is too vast to explore without any prior knowledge. The entire staff is very friendly. Arturo was our driver, and our guide, Julio, also thoroughly entertained us with all the history of the area. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue una experiencia muy bonita, me gusto y la disfrute mucho. los únicos dos puntos que se podrían mejorar: 1. La publicidad dice ver el amanecer, cuando el globo despego ya había salido el sol :( 2. El tiempo para desayunar se me hizo muy corto reconozco que yo como lento pero igual se podría considerar mas tiempo. 3.Las fotos en globo que nos tomo la agencia estaban muy padres, sin embargo yo no iba preparada para comprarlas y francamente se me hicieron un poco caras Translate this opinion into English.

It was a very nice experience, I liked it and enjoyed it a lot. The only two points that could be improved: 1. The advertisement says you can see the sunrise, when the balloon took off the sun had already risen :( 2. The time for breakfast seemed very short to me, I admit that I eat slowly but it could still be considered more time. 3. The balloon photos that the agency took of us were very cool, however I was not prepared to buy them and frankly they seemed a little expensive to me. Opinion translated. Show original.
