On the hot air balloon December 26, 2025

In 2025, December 26, me, my dad, my mom, and my grandpa went on our first hot air balloon at Teotihuacan. Here's a basic timeline.

• 4:00 I woke up and ate my breakfast
• 4:30 Got on the Uber. It was about a 50 minute drive
• 5:10 Arrived. Checked in and stored the backpack
• 5:25 - 5:45: Waiting
• 5:45 More waiting. We got a crew member to turn on the heaters, and somebody turned on the TV. Watched the advertising video.
• 5:55 I think that we should of arrived later. Watched the safety video, filled out the flight sheet, and waited 25 more minutes.
• 6:25 Finally went out to the balloon. Waited about 5 minutes before takeoff.
• 6:30 TAKEOFF!!!
• 6:40 Flying.
• 6:50 More flying. Saw a balloon get deflated. There was hundreds of balloons in the air.
• 7:05 Saw the Pyramid of the Sun. Got the two drone videos. I admit, the drone was pretty cute.
• 7:10 Saw the sunrise.
• 7:15 Finally landed.

Here is the information of the balloon, the airline, and the flight.

• The airline's name is Aerodiverti.
• The balloon's name is Arcoiris.
• Arcoiris is rainbow-colored and has AERODIVERTI on its front.
• It took longer to stand up than a nearby balloon that started being filled after Arcoiris started filling.
• Arcoiris still took off first. Third to last.
• The flight took 45 minutes.

The flight was amazing, but it was tiring anyways. The best part was the sunrise. Going to bed!
