01
Rescheduling and cancellation policy
Our priority is control of the aircraft and the safety of every passenger. That principle decides every case below.
If we cancel
Bad weather
The flight can be cancelled and rescheduled for safety reasons when weather conditions do not allow flying.
- Rescheduling at no additional cost. The new date is agreed with our reservations team.
- A 100% refund if you prefer not to reschedule when we cancel for weather or operational reasons.
If you cancel
24 hours in advance
Rescheduling and cancellation require notice at least 24 hours before the date scheduled for the activity.
- Rescheduling with at least 24 hours notice: no additional cost, with a new date agreed with reservations.
- Cancellation with at least 24 hours notice: 100% refund.
This applies in every case
- Cancellation or rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the flight require review by our reservations team and do not carry an automatic refund guarantee.
- If you do not show up at the agreed time, the service is considered rendered.

Instructions and recommendations
Six things that decide whether your morning runs smoothly.
-
Arrive on time
Maximum tolerance: 15 minutes. Once that time has passed the pilot has the right to take off, so being late can mean losing the flight.
-
Dress warm
Comfortable, warm clothing. Mornings in the Teotihuacan Valley are cold even in summer.
-
Comfortable shoes
Closed, comfortable shoes. You will walk on uneven ground at the launch and landing sites.
-
Bring official ID
Physical or digital. It works as your boarding pass at check-in.
-
Settle the balance before boarding
Payment methods: Visa, MasterCard and cash. Credit and debit card charges made at the launch site are subject to a 5% fee (Mercado Pago terminal) and the exchange rate of the day.
-
Sign the liability waiver
Passenger registration: each passenger signs a liability waiver before boarding the balloon. It is not optional.
04
General terms and conditions
By booking a flight you accept the conditions of the activity described here.
The wind decides the route
The activity depends entirely on the wind and the weather conditions present on the day it takes place. There is no guarantee that the aircraft will follow a given direction or fly over a specific route.
Flight duration
The target flight time is 45 minutes, but the duration can be adjusted by: low visibility; a change in wind speed and direction that is considered a risk for passengers; misbehaviour or a crisis presented by any of the passengers.
The pilot has the final word
The pilot is responsible for the flight and has the authority to decide whether takeoff happens, as well as the duration of the flight, under the circumstances above and for evident safety reasons.
Booking and payment
Book at least 3 days before the flight date so we can confirm availability. To register each passenger we need full name, weight in kilograms, age and a contact phone number. The remaining balance is settled before boarding.
05
