Floating gently above the archaeological marvel of Teotihuacán, Volare offers a private hot air balloon experience designed for families and close groups seeking an extraordinary perspective on one of Mexico’s most iconic landscapes. Located near the town of de Arista, in the Estado de México, this 30 to 50-minute flight offers an unmatched vantage point over the ancient Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon, set amidst sprawling valley terrain rich with volcanic soils and centuries of history.
Volare stands out in the region thanks to its commitment to safety, professionalism, and a personalized approach. Since 2005, the company has maintained a fleet of modern balloons operated by certified pilots accredited by both Mexican (AFAC) and U.S. (FAA) aviation authorities. Their private flights accommodate 3 to 12 passengers, creating an intimate environment perfect for families or small groups who want to share this breathtaking adventure together.
As dawn breaks, participants gather at the "Globopuerto" where a welcome coffee bar sets the tone for the morning. Before takeoff, guests savor a buffet breakfast and, once aloft, enjoy sparkling wine, toast with a certificate of flight in hand, and take in panoramic views of Teotihuacán's geometric precision from above. The flights are flexible, with options to extend the experience by visiting the archaeological site upon return, especially convenient for those traveling from Mexico City.
The region’s unique landscape features volcanic cones and flat plains, providing a dramatic, varied setting beneath the hot air balloon. Teotihuacán itself is a cultural treasure, once a thriving Mesoamerican city, its monumental pyramids created over 1,500 years ago still commanding awe today. Volare’s operations not only introduce visitors to these wonders but also support local economic development and environmental stewardship, maintaining respectful and sustainable tourism practices.
For those seeking a mix of adrenaline, culture, and natural beauty without compromise on safety or service, the Vuelo Privado Familiar from Volare is a distinctive way to witness Teotihuacán from above, transforming a day trip into an unforgettable story.
