Whispers Of The Past: A Hot-Air Balloon Journey Over Mexico’s Ancient City… Teotihuacan

It is magical to just walk through the ancient city of Teotihuacan envisioning what this mighty city would have looked like in the 1500s. But nothing is comparable to floating over these pyramids in a hot-air balloon. Inside a basket with 12 other strangers floating in the air watching the sun rise to experience this ancient city. A forever memory etched in your brain. Here’s why you should try it….

But First a Bit of History

Teotihuacan, known today as the city of Mexico was built on what was originally a lake. This archaeological wonderland was once a major center of trade among the Aztecs. At the time, the capital of an empire ruling over one of the largest cities in all America. Today, not much is left of the old Aztec — capital Tenochtitlan. Its majestic temples — the pyramid of the sun and the pyramid of the moon, remain as mysterious as ever. To appreciate its grandeur and magnetism, what better way than to witness it from the sky?

Hot-Air Balloon Ride Over the Pyramids

My sister came down to visit me during my stay in Mexico City and a hot-air balloon ride was on both of our bucket lists.
