Overview

Some experiences are worth having entirely to yourself.
Choose from: a shared flight, a private balloon for up to 6, or an intimate flight for two, perfect for a proposal or anniversary.
Watch the Pyramids rise from the mist below, because there's no better way to see Teotihuacan than from the sky

On the ground, enjoy a breakfast buffet facing the Temple of the Moon, then a private guided tour through the archaeological site — just you, your guide, and an ancient civilization.
Choose 1 of 3 exclusive extra activities: a cave observatory's stunning optical illusion, a sacred cacao tasting, or an extended visit through the site. Door-to-door private transportation completes the full VIP experience.

*A $35 MXN fee per extra kilogram applies for passengers over 100kg paid directly to the balloon company*
