The experience
The day begins in darkness. You register, board the balloon and rise over Teotihuacan's pyramids as the light breaks: a 30 to 45 minute flight that shows you the scale of the site from above, the layout of the plazas and the way the structures align. You descend, receive a certificate and toast the flight with a drink before heading to breakfast: coffee, juice, bread and your choice of eggs to taste, chilaquiles with meat, chilaquiles with omelette, chilaquiles with chicken or ranch eggs.
After breakfast, a certified guide leads you through an obsidian and maguey workshop where you learn about the materials and traditions that shaped the city's culture, followed by a tasting of drinks made from maguey. Then you have up to an hour and a half to walk the site on your own, moving at your own pace through the pyramids and plazas. Private transportation handles all movement between stops and returns you to the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City.
The whole experience runs about six hours. Children from age 4 are welcome, and the tour is suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or pregnancy.
