A balloon flight from San Martín de las Pirámides offers an aerial perspective over Teotihuacán, the vast pre-Hispanic city northeast of Mexico City that flourished during the first half of the first millennium CE. From above, the Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon and Avenue of the Dead reveal the site’s monumental scale and carefully ordered urban plan more clearly than at ground level. The geometric ruins stand out against dry fields, nearby towns and the surrounding volcanic landscape, while low morning light can emphasize terraces, long shadows and the alignment of the ceremonial center. Flight paths and proximity to the pyramids vary with wind, and departures are weather-dependent.
