Before dawn the valley exhales cool air and the basket rocks like a small boat; the balloon inflates into a slow, measured giant and the pyramids of Teotihuacan slide into view as geometric islands on the plain. You lift gently, the city’s broad avenues shrinking beneath a soft gold light while pilots call out landmarks and hand you a glass for a morning toast.
