How to see Teotihuacan from the air and on foot in one morning

  1. Check in at 5:30 a.m. sharp. Every passenger shows a valid government-issued photo ID at the We Fly Teotihuacan reception desk.
  2. Fly in the first hours of dawn. Your balloon stays in the air for 45 to 60 minutes over the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Avenue of the Dead.
  3. Land and toast. Every We Fly flight ends with a traditional toast and a flight certificate.
  4. Walk into the zone after 8:00 a.m. INAH opens the gates at 8:00 a.m., so you walk the same avenue you just saw from the sky.
  5. Keep your ticket or your booking at hand. Foreign visitors buy the $210 MXN ticket at the office, or book a package that already includes entry.
