Teotihuacan from the heights: helicopter tour
Temple of Quetzalcoatl: A Tribute to the Feathered Serpent
Also known as the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent, this temple stands as one of Teotihuacan’s most significant monuments. Built in the 3rd century AD, it features intricate carvings of Quetzalcoatl, a revered deity in Mesoamerican cultures.
From the air, the temple’s symmetry and detailed architecture become even more striking, showcasing the ingenuity of ancient Teotihuacan engineers.
Pyramid of the Sun: A Monumental Structure
The Pyramid of the Sun is the third-largest pyramid in the world, constructed around 200 AD. This massive structure served as a ceremonial hub for rituals connected to fertility and celestial events. From the helicopter, its immense size and strategic location at the city’s core are truly awe-inspiring.

Pyramid of the Moon: A Spiritual Connection with Nature
Located at the northern end of the Avenue of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Moon is slightly smaller than the Pyramid of the Sun but equally impressive. Its construction, which began in the 1st century AD, is believed to honor the Great Goddess of Teotihuacán, associated with fertility, water, and the earth.
Aerial views highlight the pyramid’s alignment with the surrounding landscape, particularly the Cerro Gordo mountain, reflecting its spiritual significance.
Avenue of the Dead: The City's Central Axis
This approximately 4-kilometer-long avenue runs north to south, connecting Teotihuacán’s major architectural complexes. The name "Avenue of the Dead" was given by the Spanish conquerors, who mistakenly believed the platforms flanking the avenue were tombs.
Modern archaeology has revealed these were temples or ceremonial spaces. From above, the avenue’s scale and precision alignment are breathtaking.

The tour takes place aboard the Agusta A109 K2, known as "La Chita," a twin-engine helicopter renowned for its speed, reliability, and smooth flight experience. With a capacity of 2 to 4 passengers, this aircraft ensures a safe and comfortable journey, perfect for exploring Teotihuacán from above.
