One of the most popular adventure sports activities is hot air ballooning in Mexico City. Although it does not take place directly in this place, there are many places very close to CDMX that can be easily reached. So if your dream is to take a hot air balloon ride in the air, disconnect from the routine and have fun for a while, you're in the right place.

--> Teotihuacán. Our first recommendation is Teotihuacán, not only because of its proximity to the capital but also for the cultural richness that this archaeological zone represents. This beautiful pre-Columbian city conquered the Aztecs and Mexicas to settle and created their ceremonial centres. Imagine flying in a hot air balloon over the pyramids and then taking a tour of the pyramids. Without a doubt, it is a visit not to be missed, and if you add a cultural touch to it, the trip can be perfect.

It is quite common to want to completely disconnect and just have fun while opting for such activities. For you to sit back and relax, we offer transportation departing from Mexico City. You don't have to worry about the traffic or time of arrival because we will take you to the point from where the flight departs. Then, take a coffee break and climb into the balloon.

You can have a toast in the air while you enjoy an hour of peace and quiet touring one of the most symbolic and historic places in Mexico. To conclude the activity, you will have breakfast at Gran Teocalli, a typical Mexican restaurant with traditional dishes that you will love.

Afterwards, we offer you a guided tour with one of our expert guides so you won't miss any detail of this great Aztec settlement. Now, if you come in a group, you can add a game of 'gotcha' in the fields right next to the pyramids to add a little more fun to your tour.

--> If you are looking for a more economical option that is a little closer to Mexico City, we have the perfect option a few kilometres away. Tepotzotlán is located one hour away from the centre of the country. It is a Magical Town characterised by the Viceroyalty era that remains anchored in its streets and transmits that ancient touch that envelops you in its mysticism.

The first option we offer you in Tepotzotlán is for those who are not yet in the mood for a hot air balloon flight, but what do we mean by this? It turns out that this is where the famous balloon ascents take place, that is, the maximum height that can be reached is 800 metres, but the balloon will always be anchored to the ground, so there is absolutely no risk during the activity.

This is the cheapest type of balloon flight and one of the most popular. However, if you want to experience the complete adrenaline rush, we highly recommend the full balloon flight. It tends to be one of the cheapest in the country, so the demand is quite high. But if you organise yourself in time you will definitely find a place to enjoy the activity.

Toast, breakfast, personalised canvas, mariachis, a bouquet of roses and even accommodation - These are some of the options you can add so that you have a complete experience. Check out our promotions and take advantage of your visit to Mexico City to make an unforgettable balloon flight.
