Our story

Real passengers waving from a hot air balloon basket before a sunrise flight over Teotihuacan

Flying travelers since 2017

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

One unforgettable moment

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.

Our story

The locals who
fly the world over Teotihuacan

Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacán 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.

At a glance

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

Insurance is built into all 7 packages at no extra cost. You're covered from check-in to landing, every single time you go up.

[03]

Inspected Equipment

Our balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are regularly maintained and checked before each flight. We fly nothing that hasn't passed inspection.

[04]

Free Weather Reschedule

If conditions aren't safe, we simply don't fly. Your booking is held and moved to a new date at no cost — 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

Flights aren't recommended for pregnant travelers or 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, no fine print. You're covered from check-in to landing on every single sunrise flight we've flown since 2017.

How we keep you safe

We read the weather first

Every flight launches only when winds across the Valley of Teotihuacan are calm and visibility is clear. If the sky says wait, we move you to another morning for free.

We inspect the gear

Balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are regularly maintained and checked before each launch. We fly nothing that hasn't passed its pre-flight inspection.

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

Flights aren't recommended for pregnant travelers or 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 is in our prices & safety guide.
