The basket rises as the first cool light washes the Avenue of the Dead below — balloons drift like slow thoughts above the pyramids of the Sun and Moon. From forty meters up the ancient grid-read plain opens: plazas, terraces and the geometric sweep of a city planned long before European maps.

Arrive early for pickups
Operators collect guests before dawn; confirm pickup location and have contact details handy to avoid delays.
Dress in layers
Mornings are chilly at 2,300 m but warm quickly — base layer, insulated mid-layer and a wind shell work best.
Protect against sun
Sunglasses, broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat are essential once the sun clears the horizon.
Secure loose items
Wind and balloon movement can knock over-tripods and hats — use straps or a neck camera mount.
Layered clothing
Morning chill gives way to sun — layers let you stay comfortable before and after the flight.
Sunglasses & sunscreen
High-altitude UV is strong; protect eyes and skin during the landing and site visit.
Sturdy walking shoes
Cobblestones and volcanic rock require shoes with good grip for the guided walk.
Camera with strap
A stable camera or smartphone on a strap captures the aerial perspective without risking drops.
