Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacan
Why Teotihuacan is the Best Place for a Hot Air Balloon Ride?
Teotihuacan is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico and a must-see destination. Once one of the largest cities in the ancient world, its pyramids are iconic landmarks — the Pyramid of the Sun rises 63 meters high. Located just 1 hour 30 min from Mexico City and 2 hours from Puebla, Teotihuacan is the perfect spot for a hot air balloon adventure.
What is the Hot Air Balloon Experience Like?
From the moment you arrive, the adventure begins. Start with a courtesy coffee as you watch your balloon inflate. Once inside the basket, your pilot gives a short safety briefing — and then it’s time for take-off!
The wind guides you over the Valley of Teotihuacan, with stunning views of the Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon, and the Avenue of the Dead. Every flight is unique and unforgettable, with plenty of photo opportunities.
How Long Does the Teotihuacan Balloon Ride Last?
The balloon flight itself lasts between 40 and 60 minutes, depending on weather conditions.
If you book the Teotihuacan Balloon Port option, the full experience takes about 1.5 to 2 hours in total. This includes time for registration and coffee (~25 minutes), balloon preparation and safety briefing (~20 minutes), and finally the flight itself (40–60 minutes)
If you book the Mexico City round-trip option, the full experience takes about 7 hours in total. This includes the transfer from Mexico City, the balloon flight, buffet breakfast, around 1 hour of free time at the archaeological site (self-guided), and the return transfer back to the city.
