Teotihuacan : Exploring the Ancient Civilization of Mexico
Highlights of a tour to the Ancient Civilization of Teotihuacan, where massive temples to the Sun and Moon were built, and rich history continues to amaze.
From Wikipedia:
Teotihuacan /teɪˌoʊtiːwəˈkɑːn/, (in Spanish: Teotihuacán) (Spanish pronunciation: [teotiwa'kan] (About this soundlisten), About this soundmodern Nahuatl pronunciation (help·info)), is an ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico, located in the State of Mexico 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of modern-day Mexico City, known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. After the collapse of Teotihuacan central Mexico was dominated by the Toltecs of Tula until about AD 1150. At its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the 1st millennium CE, Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more, making it at least the sixth largest city in the world during its epoch. The city covered 8 square miles; 80 to 90 percent of the total population of the valley resided in Teotihuacan. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the Avenue of the Dead, and its vibrant murals that have been well-preserved. Additionally, Teotihuacan exported fine obsidian tools that are found throughout Mesoamerica. The city is thought to have been established around 100 BCE, with major monuments continuously under construction until about 250 CE. The city may have lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th centuries CE, but its major monuments were sacked and systematically burned around 550 CE.
Teotihuacan began as a religious center in the Mexican Highlands around the first century CE. It became the largest and most populated center in the pre-Columbian Americas. Teotihuacan was home to multi-floor apartment compounds built to accommodate the large population. The term Teotihuacan (or Teotihuacano) is also used for the whole civilization and cultural complex associated with the site.
Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout Mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in Veracruz and the Maya region. The later Aztecs saw these magnificent ruins and claimed a common ancestry with the Teotihuacanos, modifying and adopting aspects of their culture. The ethnicity of the inhabitants of Teotihuacan is the subject of debate. Possible candidates are the Nahua, Otomi or Totonac ethnic groups. Scholars have suggested that Teotihuacan was a multi-ethnic state.
The city and the archaeological site are located in what is now the San Juan Teotihuacán municipality in the State of México, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Mexico City. The site covers a total surface area of 83 square kilometres (32 sq mi) and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It is the most visited archaeological site in Mexico, receiving 4,185,017 visitors in 2017.

La sensación de volar al aire libre, te dejara un recuerdo imborrable como una de
las experiencias mas exitantes de tu vida!!!!
Sobre la carretera México-Tulancingo, a 45 kilometros de la ciudad de México, es en esa gran extension de 45 mil metros cuadrados, perteneciente al pueblo de San Francisco Mazapa, del municipio de Teotihuacan, en el Estado de México, donde un grupo de aeronautas se reunen cada fin de semana.
Levantan el vuelo de sus globos, cuyos peculiares nombres, Britania, Sky, Serafin, Pasion Purpura y Aguacate, son ya una invitacion a gozar a tope del aire no contaminado en plena naturaleza.
Con el ánimo suspendido, los pasajeros sienten cómo el globo inicia su armonioso despegue, hasta alcanzar los 100 metros de altitud.
Al amanecer es la mejor hora para volar, no hay corrientes pues el sol aun no calienta la tierra y el clima es muy estable, explica el piloto del globo que al igual que los otros pilotos de aerostato estan certificados por la DGAC (Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil) y cuentan con Licencia y la suficiente experiencia.
Casi sigilosamente como en un suspiro, el globo llamado Sky se aparta de los antiguos vestigios para pasar sobre el pueblo de San Juan Teotihuacan, nombre que pusieron al lugar en el siglo XVI los frailes franciscanos.
En unos minutos queda atras ese poblado de aire provinciano y el piloto busca el lugar de aterrizaje. Sabemos de donde despegamos, pero nunca en donde aterrizamos expresa el piloto. Y aunque parezca broma, es verdad, pues los globos no se pueden dirigir, solo siguen la dirección del viento, la cual cambia dependiendo de la altura ala que se navegue, lo que le permite al piloto maniobrar en busca de un sitio despejado para aterrizar con seguridad.
Y aunque nadie desea que el viaje concluya, un aterrizaje suave y el brindis con vino espumoso entre los pasajeros dan por concluida esta travesia por la Ciudad de los Dioses, Teotihuacan, zona declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1987.
Hemos vivido una experiencia maravillosa y al mismo tiempo única, no muchos mexicanos han tenido todavia el privilegio de asomarse desde las alturas a los espléndidos restos arqueologicos de la más grande civilización del mundo prehispánico.

Volcán Paricutín visto como nunca antes
El 20 de febrero de 1943 en el p0blado de Parangaricutiro empezó a temblar, se abrió la tierra y empezó a emanar un vapor, así nació el volcán más joven del continente.
La duración de la actividad fue de 9 años, 11 días y 10 horas. La lava recorrió 10 kilómetros. No hubo víctimas humanas, El volcán sepultó dos poblados: Paricutín y San Juan Parangaricutiro (Parhikutini y Parangarikutirhu en purépecha). El primero quedó totalmente borrado del mapa del segundo pueblo solo es visible parte de la iglesia, sepultada por la lava dónde destacan la torre y el altar.
Al ser un volcán monogenético no tiene riesgo de volver a hacer erupción pero sigue presentando actividad en forma de vapor.

ENGLISH
On February 20, 1943, in the village of Parangaricutiro, began to tremble, the earth opened and a steam began to emanate, and the youngest volcano in America was born.
The duration of the activity was 9 years, 11 days and 10 hours. The lava traveled 10 kilometers. There were no human victims. The volcano buried two villages: Paricutín and San Juan Parangaricutiro (Parhikutini and Parangarikutirhu in Purépecha). The first was totally erased from the map and the second town, only part of the church is visible, buried by lava where the tower and the altar stand out.
It is a monogenetic volcano so it has no risk of erupting again but it continues to show activity in the form of steam.

El episodio de hoy Ruben Alonso nos lleva hasta el Estado de México, donde visitaremos la zona arqueológica de Teotihuacan.
Volar en globo de aire es una de esas actividades que todo viajero ha de hacer al menos una vez en la vida y esta primera vez me ha llegado aquí, en México.
Teotihuacan, en un término Náhuatl que significa “Lugar donde los hombres se convierten en Dioses” y fue una de las ciudades prehispánicas más grandes de Mesoamérica. En su época de máximo apogeo alcanzó los 200.000 habitantes y se calcula que los primeros pobladores llegaron a Teotihuacan hace unos 20.000 años. Pero lo que más destaca de este lugar son sus dos pirámides. La Pirámide de la luna de 45 metros de altura y sobre todo la pirámide del sol de 65 metros de altura.
Today's episode Ruben Alonso takes us to the State of Mexico, where we’ll visit the archaeological site of Teotihuacan.
Air ballooning is one of those activities that every traveler has to do at least once in their life, and it’s my first time air ballooning here in Mexico.
Teotihuacán is a Nahuatl word that meaning The place where men become Gods and was one of the largest pre-Hispanic cities in Mesoamérica. At its peak it reached 200,000 inhabitants. The first settlers are said to arrived in Teotihuacan about 20,000 years ago. But what stands out most about this place are the two pyramids - the Pyramid of the Moon at 45 meters high and the Pyramid of the Sun at 65 meters high.

STORYLINE:
Thousands of visitors attended the annual Teotihuacan hot air balloon festival near Mexico City on Sunday.
This was the eighth edition of the festival, which gathered 35 participants, each with their aerostatic balloons.
Most of the pilots were Mexican, but hot balloon aficionados from the US, Canada, UK and Colombia also travelled for the festival.
Thousands of spectators came out to Teotihuacan, to the site of the famous Aztec pyramids, to see the colourful spectacle.
San Juan de Teotihuacan is only 50 kilometres (31 miles) away from the Mexican capital.
This show, because it's aerial, can be seen from various kilometres away, you can see it without necessarily being here, said a public relations officer for the event, Miguel Angel Medellin.
Thanks to the clear skies on Sunday the balloons were visible from many miles (kilometres) away.
Coming to see the balloons up close did have its perks though. Many visitors were invited for an air ride and got a spectacular view of the archaeological complex from the air.
