Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

As our team registers and prepares everything to live your experience, you can enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate with a snack, at the same time, watch each hot air balloon inflate and take life to cross the sky.
Fly a safe balloon in the beautiful Teotihuacan Valley with a duration of 30 to 50 minutes. It is important to mention that the duration and direction of this depends entirely on the climatic conditions.
Upon landing we will make a toast with sparkling wine and you will be presented with your flight certificate.

*We recommend that I booked the flight the first day I can. In this way, if the weather conditions are not optimal, we can relearn for another day.

At this point we will charge energy, immerse yourself in an all-natural cave, enjoy a traditional Mexican breakfast...Or you can choose the option on a terrace facing the pyramids.
*We also have vegetarian option

We will visit the house of native artisans, where you will learn more about the work done in Teotihuacan with the Maguey, an important plant in the region. Obsidian, an important mineral for different pre-Hispanic cultures and which is currently used to make various crafts, being the main replicas of the Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City.
We will finish with a tasting of Pulque, Tequila, Mezcal and drinks made in the region.
