Teotihuacán Hot Air Balloons from We Fly

This experience takes you up in a hot air balloon over the Teotihuacán Valley, at a spot the listing places about 45 minutes from Mexico City. It is offered by We Fly, and some options include transportation from Mexico City, a balloon flight and a buffet breakfast; the listing notes that transportation and the archaeological zone ticket apply only to the options with transfer from Mexico City.

The activity starts at the We Fly Teotihuacán reception, where you are welcomed with a coffee break and can use the facilities while you wait for your flight, about 30 minutes according to the itinerary. The inclusions list tea and coffee.

In the air, the flight lasts from 30 to 45 minutes, and the listing says its duration depends on weather conditions. From the basket you can see the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon in the archaeological zone, as well as the Magical Towns of San Martín de las Pirámides and San Juan Teotihuacán. The operator suggests having your camera ready, since the panorama of the valley and the archaeological zone is the main attraction.

Once you land, the team receives you back at the We Fly Teotihuacán facilities for a traditional toast and hands you your flight certificate, which the itinerary puts at about 30 minutes. For the options with transportation, the listing describes a round trip from Mexico City that links the balloon flight, breakfast and the pyramids, with the archaeological zone ticket included.
