You lift off before sunrise, the basket sliding upward as the valley exhales mist and the wind becomes your pilot. The balloon leaves the routine of Mexico City behind and drifts over the broad flat of the Teotihuacan basin; terraces, irrigation scars and the massive silhouettes of the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon shrink into a geometric landscape below.

History
Teotihuacan was a major Classic-period city (c. 100–700 CE) that influenced Mesoamerican culture; the Avenue of the Dead and large pyramids reflect civic and ritual planning on volcanic ground.
Conservation
The archaeological zone limits where visitors can walk to protect structures—stay on marked paths, avoid touching masonry and support local guides and licensed vendors to reduce impact.
