Our take on the Sunrise Balloon Flight over Teotihuacan and Breakfast in Cueva
Pickup is included from 5 listed points or your own address; the listing gives no time and names no operator. The first 3 hours cover registration, coffee, the 30 to 45 minute flight, a toast and a certificate. The route depends on the wind, and overflying the pyramids is not guaranteed.
Breakfast follows, 60 minutes, at a restaurant the listing does not name; the title says Cueva. A craft workshop with a tasting takes 30 minutes. The 90 minutes at the pyramids are optional, without a guide, and the MX$210 ticket is paid at the gate.
The listing has one option, 6 to 8 hours in all. Above 100 kg you pay MX$35 per extra kilo. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 5.0 from 571 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
