What to expect
Lift at first light over the Avenue of the Dead, with the two great pyramids casting long shadows across the valley, then land for breakfast in a hacienda before the site opens.
Sunrise lift-off + 45 min flight + breakfast Departures run from Mexico City, and the whole experience takes about 5 hours — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Mexico City itinerary.
