Overview

This full-day tour from Mexico City lasts about eight hours and includes a shared hot air balloon flight lasting 40 to 50 minutes over Teotihuacán, weather permitting. A driver and a certified Spanish-English guide provide private transportation from the hotel lobby early in the morning. After a 45 to 60-minute drive to the balloon port in San Francisco Mazapa, guests register and watch the balloons being inflated while enjoying coffee, tea, cookies, and bread. Before the flight, participants receive safety instructions and have time for photos. The balloon ride offers views of the Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon. After landing, the balloon crew secures the equipment, and guests return to the balloon port for a traditional toast and flight certificate presentation. Then the group travels to a local restaurant for breakfast. Following breakfast, the guide leads a two-hour tour of the Teotihuacán archaeological zone, explaining the site's history and features. The tour ends with time to use restrooms and shop for souvenirs before returning to the hotel around 1 pm.
