Frequently asked questions about the flight

Resolve all your doubts before flying 🎈

A hot air balloon only has up to two hours after the first rays of sunlight to fly in safe conditions, giving us the possibility of doing only one flight or sometimes two per day.

Under favorable conditions, your balloon will be taking off between approximately 6:00 am and 8:30 am, depending on each pilot.

The flight varies between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the conditions. This may vary if the pilot considers a landing necessary due to changing weather conditions.

We fly every day of the year!

We recommend dressing warmly, wearing sunglasses, and a good pair of boots or comfortable shoes, and bringing your camera to capture the best moments.

The sizes of the basket vary for each balloon, the largest being for 14 people and the smallest for two to four people (including the pilot). For the comfort of our passengers, everyone has their section inside the basket, so no one is uncomfortable. The maximum allowed per section is 6 people.

We offer transportation from hotels in the center of CDMX. The meeting time is 5:00 am to arrive on time for your flight.

We offer shared and private transportation, as well as helicopter transfers.

Our Flying Pictures Globoport is located in Teotihuacán, just 15 minutes from the Archaeological Zone. We will provide you with directions and a map so you can arrive without any problems.

The flight does not include admission to the Archaeological Zone, but if you wish, we suggest purchasing our package with a guide and admission to the Archaeological Zone link.

Hot air balloons depend entirely on the wind's direction and conditions. Landing usually takes place in unoccupied fields around Teotihuacán.

Our commitment is to fly in the Teotihuacán Valley, and we almost always fly over the pyramids. Sometimes the wind direction does not allow us to fly over the pyramids, but it is very rare that we do not.

The risks are minimal, but we prohibit pregnant women from flying and do not recommend it for people who have recently had surgery or have certain medical conditions. Consult your doctor if you are fit for this activity.  

For safety, the minimum age is 5 years old. It is recommended that minors be taller than the basket to be able to see something and have a good experience.

If you don't have a camera, this might be a good excuse to buy one. Or you can hire our photo service during the flight.

If you are late for your flight, you will lose your deposit and will have woken up in vain.

To formalize your flight reservation, it is necessary to make a deposit of 50% of the total cost of your quote, send the full name of each member of your group, and the approximate weight of each, and call 55 8025-1057 or 55 1048-4758.

If you do not arrive for your flight, or do not arrive on time, you will lose your deposit of the total service.

Teotihuacán is full of many other activities. Our recommendations are: a guided tour of the pyramids, a tour of the craft workshop, pulque and mezcal tasting, a bike tour, temazcal, the Las Grutas restaurant, and the Reino Animal park.

Breakfast is buffet style.

At Flying Pictures, the quality of our balloons and the experience of our pilots are essential. Therefore, we ensure that all our pilots have more than 20 years of experience and are certified by the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics, ensuring a 100% safe flight.
