Our story

Dozens of hot air balloons over the Avenue of the Dead and the Pyramid of the Sun at sunrise in Teotihuacan

Flying since 2017

We launched our first sunrise flights over Teotihuacan in 2017. Since then we have made the dawn over the pyramids our specialty — and our home valley.

Built on the experience

We exist for one moment: when the burner falls silent and you drift above the Pyramid of the Sun at first light. Everything we do protects that moment.

Our story

A balloon team
made in Mexico

Teotihuacán Balloons is a Mexican company that has flown the skies above the pyramids since 2017. We are not a faceless booking platform — we are the people who inflate the balloon, brief you at dawn and pour the toast when you land. Our promise is simple: a safe, beautiful sunrise flight, run with care.

Safety

Is Teotihuacán
Balloons safe?

Yes — and certified. Every flight is led by a licensed pilot, flown with inspected equipment, and covered by passenger insurance included in the price. We launch only at sunrise, when winds are calmest, and we never trade safety for a take-off slot.

[01]

Certified Pilots

Each balloon is flown by a licensed, experienced pilot who briefs every passenger before lift-off and stays in constant radio contact with the ground crew.

[02]

Insurance on Every Flight

Passenger insurance is included in all 7 packages at no extra cost. You are protected from check-in to landing, every single time you fly.

[03]

Inspected Equipment

Our balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are regularly maintained and checked before each flight. We fly nothing that hasn't passed inspection.

[04]

Free Weather Reschedule

If conditions aren't safe, we don't fly. Your reservation is kept and rescheduled at no cost — a clear sign that safety always comes before the schedule.

[05]

Sunrise-Only Operations

We launch exclusively at dawn, when winds across the Valley of Teotihuacan are at their calmest and most predictable.

[06]

Honest Health Guidance

Flights aren't advised for pregnant women or people with heart conditions. We ask about your health up front so we can advise you honestly before you book.

Passenger insurance is included on every flight

Insurance comes built into all 7 packages at no extra cost — there is no upsell and no fine print. You are covered from check-in to landing, on every single sunrise flight since 2017.

How we keep you safe

We watch the weather first

Every flight is a sunrise flight, launched only when winds across the Valley of Teotihuacan are calm and visibility is good. If the sky says wait, we reschedule you for free.

We inspect the equipment

Balloons, baskets, burners and instruments are regularly maintained and checked before each launch. We fly nothing that has not passed its pre-flight inspection.

A certified pilot briefs you

At the field, a licensed, experienced pilot briefs every passenger before lift-off — how to board, how to stand and what to expect — so you know exactly what happens next.

We stay in contact in the air

Your pilot keeps constant radio contact with the ground crew throughout the flight, and the chase team tracks the balloon to meet you safely at the landing point.

Honest health guidance

Flights aren't advised for pregnant women or people with heart conditions. We ask about your health up front so we can advise you honestly before you book — never after.

The bottom line on safety. Hot air ballooning over Teotihuacan is a well-regulated activity, and we run it conservatively. Certified crews, inspected gear, included insurance and a no-questions weather reschedule are not extras — they are the baseline on every flight since 2017. Full detail is in our prices & safety guide.
