The experience
The morning starts at Von Navi's reception area with light snacks and hot beverages while you meet the team and get your safety briefing. You'll watch the hot air balloons being inflated at the launch site before boarding: that moment when the envelope fills and the basket tips upright is when the reality of what's about to happen sets in. The flight itself lasts roughly two to three hours from arrival to departure, though the actual time in the air depends on wind and weather.
Once aloft, the Teotihuacán Valley opens up beneath you. The Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon may be visible depending on your flight path and the day's conditions. The guide will point out landmarks and answer questions as you drift. There's no engine noise, no fixed route, just the sound of the burner and the view changing as the wind carries you across the valley floor.
Back on the ground at Von Navi, you'll receive your flight certificate and join a celebratory toast: wine for adults over 21, juice for everyone else. The team has time built in for you to collect belongings from the lockers, use the restrooms, and browse the souvenir area if you want a keepsake. Photography packages are available for purchase if the photographer was out that morning. These are optional and cost extra.
