“Wonderful day in and around (and above) Teotihuacan - We had a great time for the entire day. The driver was at our hotel downtown right at 5:30am, the balloon registration was easy with early morning coffee and tea, and breakfast after the balloon ride. The balloon flight was unforgettable, and perhaps one of my favorite touristy activities I’ve ever done.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-31
