Hot Air Balloon Flight + Breakfast at La Gruta + Pick Up in CDMX or We Fly

US$230.61 buys the WeFly flight, breakfast at La Cueva, a guide inside and the 04:40 hotel pickup. The MX$210 ticket is not in the inclusions; the option names La Cueva, the title La Gruta.

What the price buys: the MX$210 entry ticket not in the inclusions, a WeFly balloon flight of 30 to 60 minutes, breakfast at La Cueva and a stop at a craft workshop with a tasting, a guide inside for 60 to 90 minutes, hotel pickup in Mexico City at 04:40.

MX$210 at the gate and MX$60 on the bus each way; US$230.61 plus MX$210 on the tour, which adds the WeFly flight, breakfast, a guide and the 04:40 van.

Our take on the Hot Air Balloon Flight + Breakfast at La Gruta + Pick Up in CDMX or We Fly

The van collects you at your hotel at 04:40. WeFly publishes check-in at 05:30 and the flight from 07:00 to 08:00. The inclusions give 30 to 60 minutes in the air. The route depends on the wind, and overflying the pyramids is not guaranteed.

After the toast, breakfast is at La Cueva. The title names La Gruta, a different cave restaurant 0.9 km away. Then a craft workshop with a tasting, and 60 to 90 minutes inside with the guide. No entry ticket is in the inclusions, so count MX$210 at the gate.

The option lists 8 hours and ends at the Angel of Independence. WeFly covers 99 kg and charges MX$45 per extra kilo. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.9 from 4,823 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.

Know before you go

  • The exclusions: a private balloon, lunch and the penalty above 99 kg; admission and transport are out on the basic option.
  • The listing's minimum age is 4; WeFly's own site asks 5 years and 1.10 m. The listing bars pregnant travellers, spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health and alcohol.
  • Free cancellation 24 hours ahead; bad weather cancels the flight. On the WeFly site a change inside 24 hours costs 50 percent.
  • Mornings at the field are cold, so dress warmly. The zone walk comes last; the hottest hours are 11:30 to 15:30.
  • Languages: English and Spanish; leave early and you return by your own means.

Worth it if, skip it if

Worth it if

  • You want the operator named: WeFly, check-in 05:30, flight 07:00 to 08:00.
  • You want the flight, breakfast, the tasting and a guided walk in one booking.
  • A 04:40 pickup at your hotel suits you.

Skip it if

  • You want the MX$210 ticket in the price; the inclusions list none.
  • La Gruta matters: this option lists La Cueva; the two La Gruta options drop the transport or the zone visit.
  • You weigh more than 99 kg; WeFly charges MX$45 per extra kilo.
