Hello friends, how long is the trip?

[@JazzBeatsCafe]

This looks absolutely amazing. I’ve been there and it’s truly such a magical place. I’ve traveled to Europe and many other places.. no other place has felt as magical as Teotihuacan and Mexico City. Magic is literally in the air. I always imagine how amazing it would have been to walk and see the city pre conquest-when the Aztecs ruled it.

[@efrend.2361]

The aztec don't was the civilization what build Teotihuacan.

[@carlosvega-ev2ie]

But hes right: Aztecs ruled from Sinaloa to Central America. They used to respect the old Teotihuacan city because they felt (and they were) part of Teotihuacan's lineage.@@efrend.2361

Y lo quién wey tu abuelo?​@@efrend.2361

Wow! Just added this to Mexico City bucket list! What an amazing experience!

[@EricandSarah]

Love to hear that! It was absolutely incredible!!

[@acoustic5738]

Teotihuacan is not on Mexico City, it is located in the adyacent State of Mexico.

[@EricandSarah]

@@acoustic5738 yes but it is an easy day trip from Mexico City being less than an hour away :)

I recommend going to the sumidero canyon, the basement of the swallows or the naica caves

[@EricandSarah]

Very cool!

[@frenchnavy1]

Those are some giant pyramids!! Great video, it’s almost like we are there. How incredible that Mexico has something everywhere to amaze.

[@SammyandTommy]

Wowwww, Tommy and I will be kicking ourselves for a long time not doing this experience while we were there! Love the video you guys, so much excitement and the footage is beautiful!! 🫶

[@EricandSarah]

Then I guess we’ll just all have to return and do it together!! 😉

[@windsongdesigns6655]

Love all the balloons. I would definitely do that. My sister did it in Turkey and she said it was the highlight of her trip. Keep the great videos coming.

[@EricandSarah]

We’ve heard Turkey is an amazing place to do it too! But flying over the pyramids was so special to us! Hope you get a chance to do it one day ☺️

[@bespokevocals]

Was happy to see that Sarah looked cool as a cuke, being up that high. How amazing that experience looks! Thanks as always for the amazing vids and adventures!

[@tamaragolditch972]

Thank you for this video. I used Flying Pictures for a hot air balloon tour earlier today and was very happy with the experience. I wouldn’t have found them if it wasn’t for this video.

Thanks!

[@eleanorcramer7986]

We woke up on some weekend mornings to that sound of these touching down in neighbors field.

[@adrianaangelcoria1248]

I love your video, a year ago we stayed over the weekend and just being close to the pyramids make feel good. I live in Mexico City and have been there several times. When we have visitors or my kids going there for a special assignment on school. I also got excited when I woke up on a Sunday morning and looking at those huge balloon by the window. It doesn't matter where you are life is exciting.

[@rubenizabal6172]

Surreal

[@EricandSarah]

It was!

[@lindaparker8256]

Wow! Love your enthusiasm and how you enjoy it together. Your videos make me want to book a trip to Mexico City. I did a hot air balloon ride in a Kenya Game Reserve, floating over hippos in the river and wildebeests, as far as the eye could see, concluded with a champagne breakfast with crepes served on the savannah. You have to try it! I know you’d love that experience.

[@carlosvega-ev2ie]

Aztecs had 50% Teotihuacan (Toltec) Lineage. The time distance between Aztecs and Teotihuacans is bigger than the time distance between Roman empire and Greece Empire. More than 2000 years. When Aztecs came from the North (todays USA land) they found the city abandoned, but every year they used to go into the place to celebrete and honor those ancient wise people. On old science, math, architecture, cosmogony, arts, etc Olmecs teached the Mayans, the mayans teached the Toltecs (Teotihuacans) and they teached Aztecs. 150 years after Aztecs arrived, they became Mexicas and founded Mexico city and build the whole Mexico as a coutry. Even with the Spaniards invassion, the country survived til this days.

[@ImYourHucklebery117]

I would definetly like to do this one day, greetings from Texas!!!

[@Alex-966]

wow incredible experience, I have vertigo problems but I would like one day to get rid of that fear and be able to travel one day in these air balloons, it would be my dream to see the pyramids from the heights 😰😳😬👍🏻

[@EricandSarah]

I am so so incredibly sorry to hear that. I (Sarah) have had issues with vertigo and chronic dizziness for the last 6 years and it is the WORST! Wouldn’t wish it on anyone 😔 I hope one day you are able to get some relief and experience the world without fear 🥰 YOU CAN DO IT!

[@normareyes1555]

Muy increíble 😮😮😮😮 !!

[@ivanThaOoze]

Just a note 🗒️ teotihuacan ‘city of the gods’ in Nahuatl (Aztec language) was already abandoned by the time the Aztecs found it. They called it the ‘city of the gods’ because they believe gods built it since nobody knows who built them. And there is no written language left around the city. It’s a mystery. I love the video!! 👏

[@EricandSarah]

Yes!! We loved the mystery of it!

[@canojubadass9532]

Woow!! 🤩

[@carlosvega-ev2ie]

You guys are humble. The first thing mexicans need to check to like foreigners. You rock guys!

[@harishpsgct]

Cool experience!! For a moment I thought they will tell you guys to jump from the balloon to the top of the pyramid 😅

[@EricandSarah]

Haha we thought so too! We were SO CLOSE!!

How much fun are you guys having?? YES

[@EricandSarah]

@KeishaBeTraveling Amazing video. I just did this in Mexico City and the view was insane. It was my favorite experience in Mexico City.

[@jeffnorris7789]

I grew up with blimps over my head but I've never been up. Has to be better than an airline. Betcha there was no charge for the in-flight drinks? Get to the Frida Kahlo museum yet?

[@EricandSarah]

You’ve gotta do it sometime! It was AMAZING. And yeah free champagne was an added bonus 🥂

[@EricandSarah]

And unfortunately the Frida Kahlo museum was booked a week out so we didn’t get a chance to go this time 🥲

[@picarepica7639]

​@@EricandSarah Doesn't matter friend. Try to go Museum of Modern Art, in Chapultepec, there are many Frida's original paintings. Welcome to México and enjoy your travel here.

[@walterrojas2761]

So many videos about the same spots in Mexico, the difference is your vibe guys. Love that you ran out of adjectives (Have you seen Country Collectors’ videos?)

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you! We appreciate that ☺️ And yes we’ve watched lots of their videos… they’re great!

[@narutousumaki2858]

Thank you for sharing! You got round trip transportation from the city? Also, how long was the whole thing from pick up to drop off and duration of the archeological site walk through?

[@EricandSarah]

Yes our tour with Flying Pictures included transportation both ways! We were picked up from our place around 6am and returned by 1pm… so I’d say 6-8hrs :)

[@EricandSarah]

They texted us the pickup details in the early evening! And kept us updated the morning of as they picked up other guests :)

[@rfavela8907]

How many hours is the tour? What time does it finish and make it back to Mexico City …..? I got an event at 5pm trying to see if I got time to do the hot air balloon that day…

[@lxgnzlz7976]

How much???!!! How much did you guys paid How much???!!!🤷🤔🤨😬😖😣😫 you guys are awesome 🥰

[@EricandSarah]

The prices are listed in the website linked in the description… it depends which package you choose! There’s a lot of different options depending what you’re looking for in the day.

[@facts6659]

👍🏽

[@spicysith9627]

Umm... you know that a couple weeks ago, a balloon carrying a family burned and crashed? Only the daughter survived.

[@Eldelospollos28]

That happened because the balloon worked illegally the same as the owners and due to problems I don't know that it burned

Hello who did you boom you hot air ballon with and how much?

How did you all decide on this company versus any other option?

[@EricandSarah]

Mostly based on their great reviews and because their tours offer round trip transportation from CDMX.

Thanks. I went ahead and booked with them for our upcoming trip in June. Thanks for the insight and review.

[@hectorcampos9244]

Hey people, please be carefull with those balloons, I wouldn't do that.

[@santiagoortiz9573]

A piece of advice: There is not a safety culture in México, Mexican authorities turn a blind eye to accidents that happened in a regular basis!!! Be careful guys!!!

[@EricandSarah]

That’s actually one of the reasons we chose to go with Flying Pictures Mexico for this activity. Safety is their #1 priority and all their positive reviews speak to that! If you’re talking about safety throughout Mexico, we are always very careful and have never felt unsafe here :)

The largest pyramid in the world is located in Puebla, Mexico. The Great Pyramid of Cholula or Tlachihualtépetl is the largest pyramidal base in the world at 450 meters per side. It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid in the New World, as well as the largest pyramid in the world today

[@guillermoflores7030]

Thank you 👍 for EXPOSING trespassers at 3:33 Those individuals should NOT be there, access is restricted to protect the integrity of archaeological structures such as pyramids. Maybe they are taking advantage of the first hours to sneak into the site. But they are DEFINITELY there breaking the law 🙄. Hopefully the authorities (if any) will get letters on the matter. Greetings, enjoy your residence in Mexico 🤗

[@EricandSarah]

I understand why it may look like that but those guys were actually workers! It’s kinda hard to see but the two guys on the right were cleaning the plants (or something like that) and the guy we waved to just stopped to take a selfie. Haha. So I’m sure they had permission to be up there :)
