Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacán · Tel/WhatsApp +52 55 3956 2923 · info@hotairballoonteotihuacan.com · C. Querétaro 229, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 CDMX · Open Mon–Sun 5:00 AM–6:00 PM · Flights launch at sunrise from Teotihuacan, State of Mexico.
C. Querétaro 229, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Mexico City. This is the office where our team plans your trip — keep in mind it is not where the balloons take off.
Lift-off is beside the Teotihuacan archaeological zone in the State of Mexico, about 50 km northeast of CDMX — roughly a 60–75 minute drive. We send you the exact meeting point once your trip is booked.
You'll join our team near San Juan Teotihuacán while it's still dark. Show up about 30 minutes before take-off for check-in and the safety briefing, then rise into the sky just as the sun lights up the pyramids.
Teotihuacan sits about 50 km northeast of Mexico City — a 60–75 minute drive that, before sunrise, you really don't want to do yourself. Let us drive instead: our included transport scoops you up in the dark and delivers you right to the meeting point.
Choose the All Inclusive package and we'll roll up to your hotel or a central CDMX spot while the city's still asleep — no driving in the dark for you. Your exact pickup time is confirmed when you book.
It's about 50 km along the Mexico–Pachuca highway toward San Juan Teotihuacán — 60–75 minutes depending on traffic. Doze off or watch the horizon turn from black to gold; we'll handle the wheel.
You'll pull up beside the archaeological zone roughly 30 minutes before take-off. Check in, shake hands with your AFAC-certified pilot and catch a quick safety briefing while the balloon fills with air right in front of you.
Up you go as the sun crests the Pyramid of the Sun and the Avenue of the Dead unrolls beneath you. The whole experience runs about an hour and ends, as it should, with a celebratory toast.
Our All Inclusive package ($3,300 MXN shared, or $3,400 MXN private) bundles in round-trip transport. We grab you in Mexico City around 5:00 AM and deliver you to the launch point — zero early-morning driving on your part.
Point it down the Mexico–Pachuca highway (Hwy 85D) toward San Juan Teotihuacán — 60–75 minutes from central CDMX. Set off before dawn; once you've booked, we email you the exact meeting point and where to park.
Autobuses Teotihuacán depart Mexico City's Terminal Norte for San Juan Teotihuacán, and a quick local taxi finishes the trip to the meeting point. The catch: leave very early — the bus has to get you there before sunrise.
Balloons only fly at first light, so pickups and meeting times land very early — usually a ~5:00 AM departure. You'll get your precise pickup time the moment you book.
Plan to be there about 30 minutes ahead of take-off. You'll check in, meet your AFAC-certified pilot and hear a short safety briefing before the balloon is inflated.
Set aside roughly half a day all in: the dark-of-night drive, the ~1-hour flight experience and the toast. Most travelers then wander the archaeological zone while they're already there.
