Teotihuacan Private Hot Air Balloon Flight from Mexico City

Two shared balloon flights over the same pyramids sit on this site at 122.55 euros each. This one is 525.09. What the difference buys is the basket: it belongs to your party and nobody else. Past that point the day tracks the cheaper Mexico City version almost item for item, down to the same buffet breakfast at the same restaurant. The meeting point is the Angel of Independence in Mexico City, and a car or minibus covers the 50 km north-east to the launch field. Coffee is poured while the crew works on the balloon, and the pilot goes through the safety procedure before anyone climbs in. The flight is 45 minutes to an hour over the Teotihuacan Valley, with music playing in the basket. The Avenue of the Dead runs underneath as the spine of the site, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at one end of it and the Pyramid of the Moon at the other. A glass of sparkling wine is poured after landing, and breakfast is a buffet at the La Higuera restaurant. A flight certificate comes with it. Two hours of free time follow, on foot among the ruins, before the drive back closes an eight-hour day. The rating is 4.4 from 27 reviews, the lowest of the three Teotihuacan flights listed here. Weather changes are notified at least 12 hours ahead, so book the first free morning of the trip and keep a spare day to be rescheduled into.
