Puerto Vallarta( PVDN) – A recent hot air balloon accident near Teotihuacán, in the State of Mexico, which left two people dead and one minor injured, has redounded in impacts for analogous sightseer lodestones in Mexico. As a result of the accident, hot air balloon breakouts have been canceled in San Miguel Allende, Guanajuato.
The incident, which was captured on camera, has raised enterprises about the safety of hot air balloon lifts in the area, particularly as analogous incidents have passed in the history. The injured minor has been admitted to a children’s sanitarium in Toluca for treatment of first and alternate- degree becks
, as well as a fractured humerus.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History( INAH) has expressed its concern about the lack of control over the growth of sightseer service companies that offer hot air balloon lifts, putting both excursionists and service providers at threat.
In response to the accident, the government of San Miguel de Allende has blazoned the cancellation of hot air balloon breakouts until farther notice, in order to help an incident like the bone
that passed near Teotihuacán.
The mayor of San Miguel de Allende has stated that expert advice will be sought to integrate safety and threat aspects into precise specialized regulations, which will take into account the necessary training for balloon motorists.
Although balloon breakouts are a popular sightseer magnet in San Miguel de Allende, the mayor conceded that they aren’t duly regulated and that further work should have been done on the security issue.
The Festival Internacional del Globo, also known as FIG, is an periodic hot air balloon jubilee that takes place in the megacity of León, Guanajuato, Mexico, in the same state as San Miguel de Allende. It’s one of the most important and popular events in Mexico and attracts callers from each over the world.
The jubilee began in 2002 with just 27 balloons and has since grown to come the largest balloon jubilee in Latin America, with over 200 balloons sharing each time. The jubilee takes place over four days in November and includes hot air balloon breakouts, night glows, musical performances, fireworks shows, and a variety of food and drink merchandisers.
During the jubilee, callers can take a hot air balloon lift and soar above the megacity of León, passing stirring views of the girding mountains and country. They can also watch as the balloons inflate and take off, share in games and conditioning, and enjoy the gleeful atmosphere of the event.
The jubilee is a major tourism draw for León and the girding region, and has helped to promote hot air paragliding as a sport and rest exertion in Mexico. It’s a truly unique and indelible experience that combines the beauty of hot air balloons with the culture and hospitality of Mexico.
