One of the most popular and romantic ways to experience ruins in Mexico is to take a hot air balloon ride over the stunning mammoth temples at Teotihuacan. Located just outside Mexico City, the Teotihuacan temple complex is one of the most popular tourist destinations for those looking to see ancient ruins in Mexico.
Hot air balloon rides are certainly the most luxurious and elevated way to see this temple complex, but you can also visit these ruins on foot via taxi, car, or through a guided tour from Mexico City.
Teotihuacan was the largest urban center in all of Mesoamerica before the Aztecs. And while these temples were not built by the Mayans and have Aztec and other civilizations entwined within them, this giant ancient city had a huge influence on the Mayan people. It influenced the civilization itself as well as the design and architecture, making this site a must-visit for anyone visiting central Mexico.
