Soar above the City of the Gods

Watch Teotihuacán wake up from above — this experience blends a sunrise balloon flight with optional guided exploration on the ground, tailored to how deep you want to go.

Getting started

Your day begins early, and your meeting point depends on the option you’ve selected:

• For the hot air balloon ride without transportation, you must arrive at Aerodiverti Teotihuacan Balloon Port (55850 San Martín de las Pirámides, Méx., México) at either 6am or 7:30am, depending on your booking. It is important to arrive on time to allow for check-in and pre-flight safety procedures.

• For the hot air balloon ride with transportation, meet at Citibanamex, Ángel de la Independencia, Mexico City, at 5am. Here, you will board a shared transfer to the balloon port.

• For the full experience, including a guided tour of Teotihuacán and the Basilica of Guadalupe, the meeting point remains the same at Citibanamex, with transportation provided throughout the day.

Upon arrival at the balloon port, you will check in and be assigned to your balloon. A briefing will cover safety instructions, the boarding process, and what to expect during the flight. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a light coffee or tea while the balloons are prepared for departure.

What to expect

Hot air balloon ride

• Float over the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Avenue of the Dead, the same views that ancient Teotihuacános once revered.

• See the Magical Towns of San Martín de las Pirámides and San Juan Teotihuacán from the sky.

• Toast to your adventure with a sparkling wine celebration and receive a flight certificate to mark the occasion.

• Enjoy a hearty breakfast to recharge before the next leg of your journey (if selected).

Teotihuacán (with guided tour)

• Walk the same paths as ancient civilizations with your bilingual guide.

• Learn about the city's rituals, cosmology, and architectural marvels, and stop at a local obsidian workshop to watch artisans craft volcanic rock and sample a traditional drink.

Basilica de Guadalupe (with guided tour)

• One of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, the Basilica honors Our Lady of Guadalupe across the Old Basilica, New Basilica, and a series of sacred chapels and monuments.

• Your guide will walk you through its spiritual and architectural significance.

Wrapping up

• If you selected only the hot air balloon ride, you are free to continue exploring the area at your own pace after breakfast.

• If you booked the transportation option, you will be taken back to the original meeting point at Citibanamex, Ángel de la Independencia in Mexico City.

• For those who chose the extended tour, you have the option to be dropped off at the Basilica of Guadalupe and explore on your own after the guided visit. If you prefer, you can return with the group to the original meeting point.
