Globo Tetris · San Martin de las Piramides (Mexico-Tulancingo road)
Globo Tetris sells a basic shared flight from its port in San Martin de las Piramides, with transport or a full package as add-ons. The flight reviews are strong, and the basic option already includes a welcome bonfire, a toast, insurance and a certificate.
Three options: Basic Shared Flight (the $146 from-price), Flight + Round Transportation, and All inclusive flight. Every option includes coffee or tea, a welcome bonfire, a toast with alcoholic drinks, travel insurance and a personalised certificate. Breakfast comes with the larger options, and the archaeological zone ticket only with the all-inclusive. You find the port by a large mural with the company name on the Mexico-Tulancingo road.
The flight gets glowing reviews. Guests name pilots Ivan and Mau, describe landings straight onto a trailer, and the photo-and-drone package sold on site got praise (one guest paid $40, another got the RAW files). A guest who took flight plus transport was collected at 5:15 a.m. on Reforma and dropped back at 10:00, about 5 hours in total.
The transport is the weak spot. Globo Tetris uses contracted drivers, and the 1-star reviews are about pickups: in March 2026 a couple waited from 4:40 to past 5:15 because the time had moved to 5:40 without notice, and in September 2026 a guest missed the flight after a late driver. Both say no refund followed. Other guests mention old, cramped cars, and one in May 2026 never got the breakfast she paid for. Confirmation comes within 48 hours, not instantly. Above 100 kg you pay 500 MXN (101 to 120 kg) or 1,000 MXN (121 to 140 kg); above 140 kg you can't fly.
A contracted driver collects you on the transport options. Self-drivers look for the mural on the Mexico-Tulancingo road.
Check-in, coffee or tea by the welcome bonfire, the weigh-in.
One guest timed about 50 minutes. Some flights pass close to the pyramids, others stay over the fields.
A toast with alcoholic drinks and your certificate. Photo and drone packages are on sale.
Breakfast on the larger options; the zone ticket only on the all-inclusive.
Flight plus transport guests report a 10:00 drop-off.
★★★★★Perfect take-off time, 5-10 minutes into the air the sun came up behind the mountains. The pilot Mau did an amazing job, landed the balloon directly on a trailer, we were all impressed.
★★★★★Javier our driver was timely and communicated efficiently. He drove safe and it was nice to just have a personal driver for the morning. Ivan our pilot was lively and reassuring!
★★★★★They accommodated us from one day to the next. Had someone punctual pick us up. [...] Loved the views, was not scary take off and landing were both very subtle.
★★★★★From our round trip transfer and communication with the driver, all personnel at Globo Tetris and Ivan our captain, was extremely appreciated.
