Book the whole balloon — not a seat in it. With your own certified pilot and no one else aboard, you set the pace of the morning as you float into the sunrise over the pyramids of Teotihuacan and toast with sparkling wine. An easy dawn day trip from Mexico City. .
A whole hot air balloon chartered for just you two at sunrise over the pyramids of Teotihuacan — your own certified pilot, no other passengers, a sparkling-wine toast and the freedom to set the pace of the morning.
Who is it for?
Couples who want the morning entirely on their own terms — for a marriage proposal, an anniversary, a honeymoon or any bucket-list occasion worth keeping just between the two of you.
How much?
From $3,750 MXN per person. That charters the whole balloon and includes a sparkling-wine toast, a dedicated pilot and crew, and passenger insurance. Tell us if you're planning a proposal and we'll help with the timing.
How does it work?
1) Pick your sunrise date and let us know the occasion. 2) Drive in from Mexico City (about an hour) or add transport, arriving at the launch field roughly 30 minutes before dawn. 3) Fly with the balloon all to yourselves, toast in the air and land together.
How long?
You're aloft for roughly 45–60 minutes at sunrise; allow about 3 to 4 hours on the ground for arrival, inflation, flight and the final toast.
The whole balloon is yours
When you charter it, the morning runs on your terms
A shared flight puts you in a basket with strangers and someone else's schedule. Chartering your own balloon changes that completely: with no other passengers and a pilot focused only on you, you get the quiet, the unhurried timing and the clear-sky window to make your big moment land exactly when you want it. Lift off in the soft golden light, drift above the Pyramid of the Sun and the Avenue of the Dead at whatever pace feels right, and raise a sparkling-wine toast as the valley wakes up beneath you. That control — over the silence, the timing and the view — is why so many proposals, anniversaries and honeymoons happen a thousand feet above the ancient city.
What's on board
One balloon, booked end to end for two
No co-passengers, no add-ons sprung on you at the field. Every detail of the charter is set before you arrive, so the morning of your big occasion is simple to plan and yours to enjoy.
You charter the balloon, not the ride out — transport stays an optional add-on.

The price covers a sparkling-wine toast, your own AFAC-certified pilot and crew, and traveler insurance.

Is it safe to fly a hot air balloon in Teotihuacan?
Yes. Your charter is flown by a commercial pilot certified by the AFAC (Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency), and traveler insurance is built into every flight at no extra cost. If the weather won't allow a safe flight on your date, we move you free of charge to another sunrise — we never launch in unsafe conditions. Safety comes before everything else.
Does the private flight include transport from Mexico City?
Transport from Mexico City is optional on the private charter, offered as an add-on of about $1,500 MXN per person. The launch field is roughly an hour from the city, so you can drive yourself or add round-trip transport when you book and simply relax before dawn. If you'd rather have everything bundled, our All-Inclusive from Mexico City package ($3,300 MXN) already includes round-trip transport.
How long does the balloon flight last?
You spend about 45 to 60 minutes aloft at sunrise. Counting arrival, inflation, the flight, the toast and landing, the full morning runs about 3 to 4 hours from start to finish. Because the balloon is yours, that time isn't rushed for anyone else — plan to reach the launch field around 30 minutes before dawn.
Is the private balloon flight worth it?
Yes. Chartering the whole balloon buys you control of the morning — the pace, the timing and a basket with no strangers in it — as you float in golden first light above the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Avenue of the Dead. Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacán holds a 4.9-star rating from more than 1,200 reviews, and the private charter is our top choice for proposals, anniversaries and honeymoons.
Where does the balloon take off from?
The balloon lifts off from a launch field beside the Teotihuacan archaeological zone, in the State of Mexico, about an hour's drive from Mexico City — which makes it an easy dawn day trip. Flights depart at sunrise, around 6:00 AM, when the calm, golden air gives the smoothest ride and the best light over the pyramids. We operate Monday to Sunday, weather permitting.
Can children, pregnant women or older adults fly?
The private charter is booked for a minimum of two passengers, so it's mostly taken by couples. Healthy older adults fly comfortably. Two rules are absolute: pregnant travelers cannot fly, and the minimum age is 5 years — a child must also be able to stand, see over the basket edge and follow the pilot's instructions. For any other health question, tell us who's flying when you book and we'll confirm the best option for you.
What does the private balloon flight include?
The private charter includes the whole balloon booked for you and your companion at sunrise over Teotihuacan, a sparkling-wine toast in the air, your own dedicated pilot and crew from take-off to landing, an AFAC-certified pilot, traveler insurance and a flight certificate to keep. Free weather rescheduling is always part of it. Round-trip transport from Mexico City can be added as an option.
