Itinerary
Our Balloonport located less than 1km from the Pyramids of Teotihuacán where you can have a coffee on our terrace, see the inflation of your balloon and take some photos before starting to fly.
You will fly in one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, Teotihuacán. We will see the sunrise in flight, more hot air balloons and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.
The balloon leaves according to the wind but our take-off area is strategically designed to fly over the Pyramid of the Sun and the Teotihuacán Valley

Such a nice experience, especially doing it as a solo traveler. Shoutout to out pilot Alex for a smooth ride.
Amazing! Everything went smooth, the scenery was out of this world, you get so close to the Sol pyramid that you might want to cry out of emotions! Our pilot was so reassuring and fun! 30 minutes were more than enough! Would probably redo it again!
It is very early in the morning but worth it. Fantastic experience, very friendly staff, thought I was going to be nervous but didn’t feel it at all. It was a bit foggy so we had to wait an extra half an hour before going up. Didn’t see much of the ground but the view of all the other balloons around was a beautiful sight.
Be there early to get a ride via van from the company. The process ran quite smoothly and was outstanding, I was surprised to see so many other balloons….so cool!!
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The rising sun over the pyramids in a hot air balloon creates a memory not soon forgotten. When booking the breakfast be sure to check in with your travel host to ensure you get it. There are a lot of different tourism agencies trying to engage you with different things and I had to do some investigating for me and my fiance to figure out where the breakfast was that we paid for. It was also a bit confusing figuring out who we were cabbing with to the pyramid site after the hot air balloon ride. The tour we ultimately got sold on was worth it and the team we went with were very gracious. The tour was lead by a company started by two brothers who's family has lived in the area for generations. Their niece, Samara, gave a wonderful tour of the grounds. She was full of knowledge and her family was extremely helpful supporting us with finding an affordable ride back to Mexico City when we had not booked that before hand. It would be great if I could have the name of that tour group so that I can leave a review for them as well. They should give out cards! Overall, great experience.
Highly recommend! This was such a fun and unique experience :)
Included pick up and drop off, coffee, breakfast, a tour to learn about the Teotihuacan people and the pyramids themselves. The views from the balloon are once-in-a-lifetime and well worth the early morning. The tortilla soup at breakfast was the best I'd ever tasted! Overall, a wonderfully, well-organised tour that was well worth the money!
I was a bit hesitant about doing this, but I cannot but recommend it! The experience, from beginning to end, was simply fabulous! The guys from Volar en Globo pick you up (very early for us, given the tour we had booked) and from that moment on they make sure you are comfortable, have fun and feel safe at all times. The flight itself with out pilot (Cesar Omar, I hope I remember his name correctly) was amazing. He had a great way to make us feel confident and safe during the whole flight, and offered us views of Teotihuacán and surrounding areas that are impossible to describe. The company provides transport to and from the site to Mexico City, breakfast, tea and coffee and transport to and from the ruins of Teotihuacán if it's part of your package. They are all great professionals, friendly, ready for you. This is a must, do not think about it, just book it!
We arrived at flight centre at 5:00 am Nov 5. It was foggy on the ground and we told they require 200 meters visibility to fly so we would wait to see if it would clear. They decided to fly but the fog hadn’t lifted much. We ascended through thick clouds for quite some time eventually breaking into clear blue sky’s. We floated around for about half an hour looking at the topside of a fog bank. We then descended bank into the fog bank and landed. At no time did we see the pyramids or landscapes promised in the advertising. We approached manage with a number of other guests but were quickly brushed off. I would also like to mention that upon landing I noticed a number of other outfitters had not taken off.
Good organization, professionals and everything super on time... and the experience was amazing, see the sunrise and see the pyramids uff
