This prehispanic city was one of the most important cities in the Americas first centuries of our era and a major cultural reference in the world history. Flourishing between 100 B.C-400 A.D, it covered over 2,000 acres and had around 120,000 inhabitants making it the largest city in Mesoamerica and the most important city for trading. Another prehispanic cities came to this capitolio. Built centuries before the Aztec empire, the site has 3 impressive pyramids, including the Pyramid of the Sun-the 8th largest in the world- and a small museum where We can have an introduction about this prehispanic civilization and be impressed by original pieces. This city envolves a lot of mistery and a lot of truth is still covered below the pyramids. The first recorded balloon flight in Mexico took place in 1784, one year after the first flight in France. In Teotihuacan, this tourist activity began to gain popularity in the 2000s, thanks to its proximity to Mexico City (just 50 kilometers or about 1 hour away), ideal weather conditions at dawn, and the unique views of the pyramids.

Today, Teotihuacan ranks 7th worldwide as one of the best places to fly in a hot air balloon, thanks to an experience that combines history, landscape, and safety. Flying over the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Avenue of the Dead, in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, makes this activity truly unforgettable.
