About Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan: the crew flying you over the pyramids since 2017.

Lift-off is around 6:00 AM, you are 45 to 60 minutes in the air, and seats run $2,100 to $3,750 MXN per person (about US$115 to US$205). USD figures converted at 18.3 MXN/USD, August 2026 — the charge is in MXN.

This is who we are, so you know exactly who’s flying you: one departure a day from the field on the Carretera México Tulancingo Km. 27.4, AFAC-licensed pilots, and prices from $2,100 MXN (about US$115) per person for the Teotihuacan balloon ride flown on its own to $3,750 MXN (about US$205) per person for the private balloon, which needs a minimum of 2 passengers — $7,500 MXN (about US$410) for the whole basket. Groups who would rather not share the basket charter the whole basket, 2 to 8 passengers.

Our story

Our story: a local crew flying this valley since 2017

Three things travelers ask about most: how long we have been doing this, what a morning on the field is actually like, and who ends up in the basket beside them.

A passenger raises an arm in the basket as balloons and the Pyramid of the Sun fill the view

Flying travelers since 2017

We lifted our first guests over Teotihuacan at dawn in 2017. Since then, walking travelers through this sunrise morning has become the one thing we do — over and over, season after season.

One morning that sticks

It comes when the burner goes quiet and you float above the Pyramid of the Sun in the first gold light. That's the moment travelers cross off their list — and every detail we plan is built to protect it.

First-time visitors to Mexico, couples on a romantic morning, families and birthday groups all fly with us. We greet guests in English and Spanish and shape the morning around you.

Our story

The locals who fly the world over Teotihuacan

Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan has been lifting visitors over the pyramids since 2017. We're not a faceless booking site that resells someone else's flight — we're the people who inflate the balloon, brief you at dawn in your own language and hand you the toast when you land. The promise is simple: a safe, jaw-dropping sunrise flight, and a day trip from Mexico City that feels effortless.

Safety

Is a Teotihuacan balloon flight safe?

Yes — and it's the question every traveler should ask. Each flight is led by a licensed, English-speaking pilot, flown with inspected equipment, and covered by insurance built into the price. We only launch at sunrise, when the wind is calmest, and we never trade your safety for a take-off slot.

[01]

English-Speaking Certified Pilots

Every balloon is flown by a licensed, experienced pilot who briefs you in English before lift-off and stays in constant radio contact with the ground crew.

[02]

Insurance on Every Flight

Passenger insurance is built into all 7 packages at no extra cost — nothing to add at booking. What it covers, and where it stops, is set by the terms of the policy in force, and we'll go through it with you before you fly.

[03]

Inspected Equipment

Our balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are maintained on a regular schedule and checked at the field before every flight, by the pilot who is going to command it.

[04]

Free Weather Reschedule

Above 10 km/h (about 6 mph) of surface wind we do not fly, and that is the whole rule. Your booking is held and moved to a new date at no cost, with no limit on how many times — proof that safety comes before any schedule.

[05]

Sunrise-Only Launches

We launch only at dawn, when the winds across the Valley of Teotihuacan are at their calmest and most predictable.

[06]

Straight Health Advice

Pregnant travelers cannot fly, at any stage, and flights aren't recommended for people with heart conditions. We ask about your health up front so we can advise you honestly before you book.

Insurance comes built into every flight

It's folded into all 7 packages at no extra cost — no upsell, nothing to tick at checkout. Every sunrise flight we've flown since 2017 has gone up with passenger insurance in place, on the terms of the policy that covers our operation.

How we keep you safe

We read the weather first

Surface wind is measured on the launch field before the envelope is inflated: above 10 km/h (about 6 mph) we do not fly, whatever the forecast promised. The pilot in command makes that call at first light, and if the sky says wait we move you to another morning for free.

We inspect the gear

Balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are maintained on a regular schedule and checked before each launch. The pilot in command runs that check at the field, before the envelope is inflated.

Your pilot briefs you in English

At the field, a licensed pilot walks every traveler through it before lift-off — how to board, how to stand and what to expect — so nothing about the morning is a mystery.

We stay connected in the air

Your pilot keeps constant radio contact with the ground crew throughout the flight, and the chase team tracks the balloon to meet you safely at the landing point.

Straight health advice

Pregnant travelers cannot fly, at any stage, and flights aren't recommended for people with heart conditions. We ask about your health up front so we can tell you honestly before you book — never after.

The honest bottom line. Ballooning over Teotihuacan is a well-regulated activity, and we run it conservatively — exactly what you'd want when you've flown halfway around the world for it. Certified crews, inspected gear, built-in insurance and a no-questions weather reschedule aren't extras; they've been the baseline on every flight since 2017. Full detail — including the seven documents you can ask any operator for — is in our safety guide.

Fleet & team

Our fleet and team: the balloons and the people behind them

The equipment you board, the crew that inflates it and the hands that look after you from the first message to the toast on landing.

Regularly maintained envelopes and baskets sized for couples, families and groups alike. Each one goes through its pre-flight check on the launch field before that morning's flight.

From your first WhatsApp message to the toast on landing, you deal with real people who care. We tailor the morning to proposals, anniversaries, birthdays and first-time visitors.

Fleet & team

The balloons, the people, the care

A safe flight is the sum of good gear and good people. Our maintained balloons, English-speaking certified pilots and attentive ground crew are what turn a Teotihuacan sunrise into the photo you'll keep — and a morning you can book with confidence from anywhere. Which of them travelers name in writing, and how often, is right below.

The roster

Who flies the balloon: around 35 pilots, and the ones travelers name

Around 35 pilots fly with this brand, so no page can honestly promise you one particular name, and a closed list of five would not be the team. What can be shown is the eleven that travelers name themselves, in writing: Antonio, Roberto G., Raúl, Marco B., Naien, Naren, Fernando, Fernando F., Héctor, Alejandro S. and María. We do not ask you to take that on faith — twenty-two reviews name the pilot who flew them, so you can open our Google listing and find the name before you ever meet him. On 7 August 2026 one of them, Joy Pogoy, wrote that Antonio “has 14 years of experience”: that is a passenger reporting what they were told at the field, not a figure we are certifying — what we certify is the licence, and you can ask to read it before you board.

The pilots, and the travelers who named them
Pilot	Role	Travelers who name them in our Google reviews
Antonio	Hot air balloon pilot	10 — Felicia Woodruff, Daniel de León Noriega, Tom Swope, Paul Pyne, Maria Teresa Noriega, Joy Pogoy, Chrisna, Rodney Jones, Rocio Alonso, Ivanna Olvera
Roberto G.	Hot air balloon pilot	4 — Ulises Bustamante, Desiree Rodriguez, Cristian Lara, Stephane Martinez
Héctor	Hot air balloon pilot	2 — Luis Andrés Rojas Jiménez, Nicole Sánchez
Fernando	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Katya Ramos
Alejandro S.	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Cowart Victoria
María	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Kirk Millson
Naien	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Preston Marquis
Raúl	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Eduardo Abella
Marco B.	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Roberto Sandoval
Naren	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Diego Rodrigues (review we do not reproduce here: it thanks a sister brand)
Fernando F.	Hot air balloon pilot	1 — Isabella Reynoso (review we do not reproduce here: it thanks a sister brand)

Why the surnames are initials

We publish each pilot exactly as the travelers wrote him in their Google reviews, and abbreviate the family name because a crew member is not a marketing asset. What you can insist on is the document: every one of them flies on a commercial licence issued by AFAC, Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency, and it travels with them. Ask to read the name and the licence number at the launch field before you climb in — the full checklist of what a legal operator must carry is in our safety and operator check.

Verifiable

What we can prove about us

We would rather hand you the paperwork than a wall of compliments. Every line below is something you can check before you pay — and hold us to on the morning you fly.

[01]

Flying since 2017

We lifted our first travelers over the valley in 2017 and have launched from the same field beside the archaeological zone ever since.

[02]

AFAC-certified pilots

Every balloon is flown by a commercial pilot licensed by AFAC, Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency. Ask to see the licence at the launch field.

[03]

Traveler insurance included

Passenger insurance is built into the fare of every flight and into all 7 packages — not an upsell, not a box you tick at checkout.

[04]

Free weather reschedule

If conditions do not allow a safe launch we do not take off, and we move your date at no cost. We would rather lose the morning than force it.

[05]

Paid in full, online

Card (+5%) or PayPal (no surcharge) through this site, with written confirmation carrying your date, your meeting point and your time. Nothing to settle at the field.

[06]

The rules, before you book

Minimum age is 5 and pregnant travelers cannot fly. Two rules with no exceptions — better you read them here than hear them at the basket.

And what this page still owes you. We say "AFAC-licensed" eight times above, which is exactly what every operator in this valley says. The honest thing is to flag which of those credentials are not yet printed here rather than let the repetition pass for evidence:

Not yet published on this page: our AFAC operator permit number and its expiry · the licence number of the pilot who commands your flight · the name of our insurer and the sum insured per passenger · the State of Mexico civil-protection clearance for our launch field.

Until those four are on this page, treat them the way we ask you to treat any operator's claim: ask for them before you pay, on WhatsApp or at the field, and read the number rather than the adjective. What a legal Teotihuacan operator must be able to hand over — and the seven documents worth demanding — is set out in our safety and operator check. What each seat costs, with no credential hidden behind an upsell, is in the 2026 price list.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who flies you with Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan?

Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan is the local crew that has run sunrise flights over the Teotihuacan archaeological zone since 2017. We fly from the field beside the Teotihuacan archaeological zone, taking couples, families and first-time visitors over the pyramids, and offer optional transport from Mexico City for an easy day trip.

Is the flight safe and certified?

Yes. Every flight is run by certified, experienced pilots on regularly inspected equipment, and insurance is built into every package at no extra cost. We launch only at sunrise, and the limit is a measured one: above 10 km/h (about 6 mph) of surface wind we do not fly. That reading is taken on the launch field before the envelope is inflated, the pilot in command makes the call that same dawn rather than the office the night before, and we move you to another morning for free as many times as the weather asks for.

Do your pilots speak English and hold a license?

Yes. Every balloon is flown by a licensed, experienced pilot who briefs you in English before take-off and stays in constant contact with the ground crew throughout the flight, so international travelers always know what's happening.

How long have you been flying travelers here?

We've been flying hot air balloons over Teotihuacan since 2017, which means years of dawn-flight experience reading the pyramids and the Valley of Teotihuacan — the kind of local know-how that matters when you've travelled far for this morning.

Why book direct with you instead of a resale site?

You're booking the operating crew, not a middleman: local expertise since 2017, certified English-speaking pilots, insurance built in, a free weather reschedule, seven flight packages from $2,100 MXN (about US$115) and optional transport from Mexico City for an easy day trip.

Is insurance built into the price?

Yes. Passenger insurance comes folded into all 7 of our packages at no extra cost, so there is nothing extra to add at booking. It applies on every flight under the terms of the policy in force, and we go over what it covers with you before you fly.

Am I in safe hands flying with you?

Yes. Flying with Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan is safe. Every flight is run by commercial pilots certified by Mexico's AFAC, insurance is included on every flight, and we reschedule for free whenever the weather won't allow a safe sunrise launch. We fly only at dawn, when the winds over the Valley of Teotihuacan are calmest.

What is your star rating, and can I check it?

4.8 out of 5 from 191 reviews on our Google Business Profile — open the listing and read every one of them. We only publish the number because you can trace it: plenty of operators print a figure nobody can check, and a rating you cannot verify is worth nothing. What else we can prove, we put in writing: we have flown travelers over these pyramids since 2017, every balloon is commanded by a commercial pilot certified by Mexico's AFAC, passenger insurance is included in every fare, and a weather cancellation moves your date at no cost. Ask to see the pilot's licence at the launch field — it is the one credential that cannot be invented.

Who are your pilots, by name?

Around 35 pilots fly with this brand, so no page can honestly promise you one particular name, and a closed list of five would not be the team. What can be shown is the ones travelers name themselves, in writing, in our Google reviews: Antonio, Roberto G., Raúl, Marco B., Naien, Naren, Fernando, Fernando F., Héctor, Alejandro S. and María — one passenger signs Roberto G. as Roberto Garces. Twenty-two of those reviews name the pilot who flew them: Antonio in ten, Roberto G. in four, Héctor in two, and Fernando, Alejandro S., María, Naien, Raúl and Marco B. once each, so you can read the name in a stranger's review before you meet him. Each flies on a commercial licence issued by AFAC, Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency, carried at the launch field; ask to read the name and the licence number before you climb in.

What are your hours, and what time does the balloon actually take off?

24/7 assistance, sunrise flights only. Someone answers +52 55 3473 0006 and WhatsApp at any hour of any day, which is why our Google listing shows us open 24 hours — but the balloons only leave the ground at dawn. On a flying morning: pickup from your Mexico City hotel at about 4:30 AM on the packages that include transport, check-in and the English safety briefing at 5:30 AM at Carretera México Tulancingo Km. 27.4, lift-off around 6:00 AM, 45 to 60 minutes in the air and a toast on landing. One departure a day, and never a night flight.

Where do you launch, and is it an easy trip from Mexico City?

We launch at sunrise from Teotihuacan, in the State of Mexico, about 50 km from Mexico City — an easy early-morning day trip, with optional transport available from the city. The flight itself lasts about 45 to 60 minutes in the air and ends with a toast on landing.

Google reviews

In their own words

4.8 out of 5 from 191 reviews on our Google Business Profile — open the listing and read every one of them. The 6 below were pasted out of that panel word for word, the customer's own spelling included. All 6 carry their own score because the owner confirmed each one against his panel; not a single one is assumed. 3 of them also carry the day they were written, between August 4 and 7, 2026. For the others the panel only said “a week ago”, and that day is not ours to guess. They name their pilots: Antonio and Roberto G.

A great way to start your morning!! View was great, Antonio, the pilot, was amazing. He has 14 years of experience and he showed his skill to us and safely flew and landed the balloon. We had a toast after as well to celebrate and it was apparently a tradition having a toast after flying! If you are afraid of heights, give it a shot still. It was worth it and super safe. Kudos to the other staffs as well they are very friendly and accommodating.

Joy Pogoy Pilot · Antonio

We had our first hot air balloon experience this morning and it was a true once in a lifetime experience. I was nervous leading up to our experience but the entire organization was top notch and professional. Our pilot Antonio was terrific! He was fun, professional and made the experience even that much better. If visiting the Mexico City area I couldn’t recommend this company and experience any more!

Matthew Malc Pilot · Antonio

We had such a great time, Antonio is a very skilled pilot. We got the closest to the pyramids of all the balloons up there.

Tom Swope Pilot · Antonio

Great experience. 10/10, out captain Roberto G and his team were great

Ulises Bustamante Pilot · Roberto G.

This was amazing. All four of us (wife and kids 12 and 15) say is the best part of 2 week trip to Mexico. Unbelievably beautiful and amazining perspective of Teotihuacan. I have taken balloons before but this pilot was the most skilled I have seen — we were directly over the pyramids, and moved along the axis of the site.

Kevin Stewart

What a treat this was! I was scared at first but it was worth it, trust.
