Our take on the Balloon flight + pick up in CDMX + Breakfast in Cave + Pyramids
The pickup at your hotel in Mexico City is between 04:20 and 04:50. Take-off is at 06:10. The flight lasts 30 to 50 minutes. The wind sets the route, and a pass over the pyramids is not guaranteed.
You land at 07:30 for the toast. Breakfast at La Cueva takes 60 minutes from 08:00, then a craft workshop with a tasting at 09:00. From 09:40 you have 1.5 to 2 hours inside on your own, and you pay the MX$210 ticket at the gate.
You leave the site at 11:30 for your pickup point. Over 100 kg you pay MX$500 extra up to 120 kg, and MX$1,000 up to 140 kg. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.9 from 7,810 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
