Al Sol Globos Sunrise Flight

About this experience

This is the cleanest listing at Teotihuacan. The $135 buys a shared flight of 30 to 50 minutes, a cup of coffee, traveller insurance and a flight certificate. Transport and breakfast are not included, and there's no visit to the archaeological zone. The whole thing takes about 1 hour 45 minutes at the port.

Al Sol's balloon port is about 50 km from the centre of Mexico City, at km 28.0 of the federal Mexico-Tulancingo road in San Martin de las Piramides, 150 metres from the junction with Francisco Villa street. Plan to be there around 6:00 a.m. From the city that's a 4:45 to 5:00 departure by car or Uber. If you're sleeping in San Juan Teotihuacan or San Martin, it's a few minutes away.

It suits people who want the sky, not a package. Afterwards you can walk into the zone yourself when it opens at 8:00 (210 MXN for foreign visitors in 2026), or go back to bed. The listing caps the group at 20 travellers. Above 99 kg you pay a surcharge. Viator shows a 4.9 rating on 222 reviews but no review texts on the page.
