Hot Air Balloons

It is the oldest human-carrying flight of technology, and was traditionally built in an inverted tear-drop shape full of colors. Today, modern technology has made it possible to build hot air balloons in almost any shape.

Hot air balloon festivals are held annually in many places around the globe. It is a party of color and light that brings a spectacular and incredibly peaceful sight. These types of festivals go on throughout the year, allowing hot air balloon admirers to gather in remarkable locations, ones like the Teotihuacan archaeological site in Mexico.

Flights take place near dawn and dusk, when the wind is the calmest. Festivals are oftentimes held during the fall and summer, providing one pretty magnificent experience. Watch the magical scenery of hot air balloons flying over the Sun Pyramid.
