More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Before dawn the valley exhales cool air and the silhouettes of two massive stone pyramids appear like islands on a flat plain. You climb into a wicker basket as burners puncture the sky and the balloon lifts, the plateau beneath unraveling into avenues, plazas and agricultural terraces carved into volcanic soil.

Teotihuacan was a major Mesoamerican city from roughly 100–700 CE whose monumental pyramids and long central avenue influenced later cultures across central Mexico.

Early start—plan for pickup

Wear sturdy shoes
The archaeological site features long stone avenues and steep pyramid steps—closed-toe shoes with good grip are advised.
Protect from sun and dust
Bring sunscreen, a brimmed hat and sunglasses—UV is strong and the plain can be dusty once the wind picks up.
Travel light for the flight
Only small bags are permitted in the basket; leave large backpacks on the transfer vehicle.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Required for safe walking on cobbled avenues and steep pyramid steps.
Layered outerwear
Morning temperatures are cool; layers let you adapt as the day warms after sunrise.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Open plateau and midday sun make UV protection essential.
