Seven tours,
one sunrise

The flight is the same magic across the board; price is just a question of how much you bolt on. Tours run $2,100 to $3,750 MXN per person depending on whether you add breakfast in a cave, pickup from Mexico City, or a balloon all to yourselves. Each card below spells out what's in it, who it's for, and a one-tap booking button. Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacán has flown the valley since 2017 — every tour is run by certified pilots and carries passenger insurance.

Don't overthink
the choice

Here's the thing nobody tells you: whichever of the 7 packages you book, the flight is byte-for-byte the same. You lift off just before dawn and ride 45 to 60 minutes above the Avenue of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. Everything that differs sits around that hour — getting picked up in Mexico City, breakfast in a cave, a birthday toast, or having the basket to yourselves. So choose on logistics, not on the view.

What does each Teotihuacan balloon package cost?

The seven packages run from $2,100 MXN per person for the flight-only Hot Air Balloon Ride. From there: the Traditional flight is $2,100 MXN, the Birthday flight is $2,300 MXN, Flight + Breakfast in a Cave is $2,590 MXN, the All Inclusive with shared pickup from Mexico City is $3,300 MXN, the version with private transport is $3,400 MXN, and the exclusive Private Flight is $3,750 MXN.

How safe are the balloon flights in Teotihuacan?

Very. Every flight is commanded by a commercial pilot certified by the AFAC, Mexico's federal civil aviation authority, with the company flying since 2017. Traveler insurance is included for all passengers at no extra cost, and pilots brief in English before lift-off. If the weather won't allow a safe flight, your tour is moved to another morning free of charge — we never fly in marginal conditions.

How much time should I set aside for the flight?

Time in the air is about 45 to 60 minutes over the pyramids at sunrise, and that's identical across all 7 packages. Plan a wider window for the whole morning, though: you arrive before dawn for check-in and the safety briefing, then fly and toast on landing. Transport-included tours add the round trip from Mexico City on top.

Is the Teotihuacan balloon ride worth it as a day trip?

For most travelers it's the highlight of the trip — the experience holds 4.9 out of 5 stars across 1,200+ reviews. You float at sunrise over the Avenue of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, with certified pilots and insurance included. It's an easy half-day from Mexico City, and phones and cameras come along to capture the whole thing.

What comes with every package, and what's an add-on?

Four things are in every one of the 7 packages: the roughly one-hour sunrise flight over the pyramids, certified English-speaking pilots, passenger insurance and a celebratory toast. The pricier tiers simply layer on extras — breakfast in a cave, shared or private pickup from Mexico City, or a balloon reserved just for you.

Which package is right for me?

Match it to your priority: the $2,100 Balloon Ride for the lowest fare, the $3,300 All Inclusive if you want pickup from Mexico City handled, the $2,590 Breakfast in a Cave to make a morning of it, the $2,300 Birthday flight to celebrate, or the $3,750 Private Flight for proposals and honeymoons.

Can you pick me up in Mexico City?

Yes — pickup is built into two of the seven packages: the All Inclusive ($3,300 MXN) with a shared round trip, and the Shared Flight + Private Transport ($3,400 MXN) with a vehicle for your group only. The other tours meet at the launch site in Teotihuacan, so you make your own way there (about an hour's drive from CDMX), though pickup can be added to most of them on request.

Which is the cheapest package, and what do I give up?

The lowest fare is the Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Ride at $2,100 MXN per person (down from $2,790). It's flight-only — the same roughly one-hour sunrise flight over the pyramids, with certified pilots, insurance and a toast — so the only thing you trade away is pickup from Mexico City, which you arrange yourself.

How easy is it to book from abroad?

Very easy — reserve online through our booking system in one tap, or just message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp and we'll sort it out. Online bookings are paid in full at the time of reserving, by card or PayPal in Mexican pesos. And if the weather grounds your flight, your tour moves to another morning at no cost.
