Stop 1
The pyramids of Teotihuacan can be seen from above, it is an incredible experience that will be a great memory for life. On this tour, when you arrive at the facilities and register, you will enjoy a coffee (included). A few minutes later, you will see how the balloon that you will upload is inflated. Once at the balloon port, we will get into the basket, the guide will give us some simple instructions and that's it! take off!
Our exciting experience starts here. The wind will take us through the impressive pyramids of Teotihuacan. The direction the balloon takes depends on the air currents. Take many photos of the wonderful views that Teotihuacán offers.
Upon return, our work team takes us to the same starting point. It is an activity that should be done at least once in a lifetime.
