Frequently asked questions about the flight

Solve all your doubts before flying 🎈.

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

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

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

We fly every day of the year!

We recommend you wear warm clothes, sunglasses, a good pair of boots and your camera to capture the best moments.

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

We offer transportation from hotels in downtown CDMX, the meeting time is at 5:30 in the morning to arrive on time for your flight. We offer private transportation and helicopter transfers.

Hot air balloons depend entirely on wind direction and conditions. Landing is normally done on vacant land around Teotihuacan.

Our commitment is to fly in the valley of Teotihuacan, we almost always fly over the pyramids. Sometimes the wind direction does not allow us to pass over the pyramids, however it is very rare that we do not.

The risks are really minimal but we prohibit the flight to pregnant women and we do not recommend it for people recently operated or with certain medical conditions. Check with your doctor if you are suitable for this activity.  

For safety reasons the minimum age is from 4 years old. It is recommended that minors be taller than the basket to be able to see something and have a good experience.
