Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon with Entry Ticket and Written Guide

7 to 8 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 1 more

Drift silently above the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon as dawn breaks over the Valley of Mexico, one of the most breathtaking views on Earth. Once you land, enjoy a delicious breakfast at one of Teotihuacan's finest cave restaurants, then explore the site with your own written guide, the difference between just seeing the pyramids and truly understanding them, insight you can keep, reread, and treasure long after your trip ends.

Your entry ticket is included, so there's no cash to carry and no risk of the ticket office's unreliable card terminals. And unlike other operators, we offer door-to-door pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation within Mexico City's marked hotel zones, for a truly seamless, hassle-free journey from sunrise flight to breakfast table and back home.

**For people weighing over 100kg a fee of $35MXN per extra kilogram will be paid directly to the balloon company**
