★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,335 reviews · 2 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $172Our pick

Leave Mexico City before dawn for a shared hot air balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley. Toast your landing, eat a Mexican breakfast in a natural cave, taste regional liquors, and visit the pyramids. Coordinators such as Maritza, Saul, Abril, and Laura help manage the day, while flights depend on weather and may not pass directly over the pyramids.

“My brother and I had a great experience with our guide Saul! We came on the Monday we scheduled for but due to dense fog we had to push to the next day. We were worried the weather conditions wouldn’t permit again but we had a perfectly clear flight! The sunrise was beautiful and it was an amazing experience flying over the pyramids.”
