It’s worth waking up early for

An early morning rewarded with spectacular views over the archeological site near Mexico City. Pickup in the city was right on time, nice hospitality in the lobby while watching the balloons fill up with air. Such a smooth flight with touchdown right in the trailer. Amazing

Ballonons and pyramids

The hot air balloons were awesome, of course! A bit disappointed that our balloon didn’t get too close to the pyramids but still LOVED the experience. Thank you Pilot Carlos!

Riding a hot air balloon over the pyramids was so peaceful and beautiful. It brought tears of awe into my eyes. The photo shoot beforehand was so fun. Ruth did a great job putting us at ease and getting us wonderful pictures (for an added cost). Breakfast in the cave was delicious and romantic. The pyramids guided tour was very informative and I enjoyed picking up souvenirs at the shop and the liquor tasting. 10/10 would recommend!
