Pickup is at 04:30 from your Mexico City accommodation. The listing gives 45 minutes in the air. The route depends on the wind, and overflying the pyramids is not guaranteed.
Breakfast is at La Cueva, 60 minutes. Then 30 minutes at a cooperative with a tasting. After that, up to 2 hours in the zone on your own. The MX$210 ticket is at your cost.
The flight-only option, US$148.19, meets at the balloon port at 05:30. Over 100 kg you pay a surcharge, from MX$500. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.9 from 2,703 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
