What people are saying about State of Mexico

Absolutely worth it. Amazing experience and Volare runs a pretty impressive operation. Pickup and drop off was also seamless. We opted to get dropped off at the archeological site afterward and did the agave/archeological/lava tube tour with Eduardo (who was waiting at the Volare drop off and seems to have some arraignment with Volare). His tour was the perfect compliment to the balloon ride. Very fun and insightful.

Just absolutely breathtaking and then the experience keeps going. This is so thoroughly enjoyable at such an incredible price. If you’re on the fence you need to book. You will have absolutely no regrets. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. Wear layers, enjoy your time!

The program was very interesting. Besides the amazing flight, I really enjoyed the obsidian workshop and the breakfast! I can only recommend. It's definitely worth the money.

Great guide and employees, everything was well thought and the ambiance was great. Loved the flight
