US dollars per person (per adult on GetYourGuide); the Viator options in Mexican pesos per adult. Viator checked November 2026; GetYourGuide checked November 2026.
The Viator operators price in pesos, so what you pay in dollars depends on the day’s exchange rate. That is why the table gives the transport options in pesos.
The flight only, or the full day
The From price is the flight only on all five listings: you make your own way to the balloon port before sunrise and leave after the toast. The full day adds pickup in the Mexico City areas each operator covers, breakfast and, with Viaja Teotihuacan, Tlatoani tours and Visita Teotihuacan Mexico, free time in the archaeological zone. Tlatoani tours also has an in-between option, the flight with the cave breakfast and no transport, at MXN 3,650 per adult.
Without a car, the transport option is the simpler way to reach the valley before dawn. If you are already sleeping in San Juan Teotihuacan, the flight only leaves you the rest of the morning. The Mexico City hot air balloon ride compares the two ways of getting there.
The date changes the price
On GetYourGuide, the flight only by Vuelo en globo Teotihuacán SA de CV was US$220 per adult on 27 November 2026 and US$172 on 15 January and 26 March 2027; with transport and breakfast, US$270 and US$232. The per-adult price was the same for one, two or three adults. Volare charges less on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 January 2027: MXN 2,610 per adult for the flight only, against MXN 2,900 on other days (checked November 2026).
