Before dawn the valley exhales cool, clean air and the balloons begin to inflate like slow-breathing beasts. You stand on a terrace as crew tighten ropes and the wicker basket tips into the wind; then the panorama opens — the Avenue of the Dead stretches below and the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon rise from the plateau, ancient geometry cut against morning light.

History
Teotihuacan was a major urban center from roughly the 1st to 7th centuries CE; later peoples gave it the name meaning 'city of gods.' Its pyramids were ceremonial and urban focal points tied to obsidian trade and craft production.
