This full-day experience takes you to one of the most important Mesoamerican sites in the Americas, Teotihuacán. See the sunrise over the Valley of Teotihuacán as you pass over the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon in your own private hot-air balloon. You will be in the air for roughly 40 minutes, taking in the sheer size of the religious and ceremonial centre of the Aztecs and looking out over vistas of the surrounding valley. Once the gentle flight is over, toast the flight with sparkling wine, as has been done since the first days of hot-air ballooning, before heading to a breakfast buffet at a nearby restaurant. As the day continues with your expert guide, you will explore the archaeological zone while learning about the rituals, cosmology, beliefs, and everyday lives of the Aztecs and the inhabitants of Teotihuacán before them.
