Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

WELCOME TO THE BEST HOT AIR BALLOON ADVENTURE IN MEXICO

Most popular experience on Airbnb.

It is also the safest, funnest, with spacious baskets, a bilingual team and zero gimmicks (no tourists traps).

We start the pick-ups around 5 am and will be back in CDMX around 1 pm or well before, if you only do the ride.

After the balloon ride, you will have the option of going back to your accommodation or join a walking tour of the pyramids and grab breakfast.
