The Festival Internacional del Globo was celebrated this week in León, Guanajuato, Mexico. About 200 pilots, representing over a dozen countries, congregated in León’s Metropolitano Park to speckle the sky with their hot air balloons for this annual ballooning event, which has come a long way since its humble beginning in 2002 with 27 balloons.
