The area
Coming for Teotihuacán? See where to stay near the pyramids.
You're in the middle of everything. Pick the day's plan; at night you come back to the countryside.
The pyramids of Teotihuacán half an hour away and the balloon port 28 minutes out. You lift off at dawn, float over the valley of the gods and come back to breakfast on the porch, skipping the endless pre-dawn drive from the city.
The hill behind you, grass as far as you can see and a sky that fills with stars at night. Reino Animal for the kids, walks, horses, and the fire pit lit as the afternoon cools.
The Sunday barbacoa, La Gruta serving inside a real cave, the food stands on the Papalotla square. And when you'd rather not go out, traditional Mexican food cooked right at the house.
Texcoco 25 minutes away with a movie theater, hospitals, malls and everything practical. The calm of the countryside with the city nearby just in case: the best of both worlds.
