It is important to consider that all times are approximate, as they may vary slightly for traffic or weather conditions.
Also, ballooning depends on wind currents, so it is not 100% guaranteed to fly directly over the archaeological area. However, in 90% of the cases we did manage to do it, and it always provides a spectacular view of the Teotihuacan Valley.
