My friend Nelly @nativasoy is from Campeche and I wanted to go there.
Join us as we explore and travel around Campeche in the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico featuring all it’s highlights and the best things to do when you’re visiting.
On this trip we see how the Jipi Japa Hats are made, we go to a special bakery in Pomuch and visit the cemetery there and Nelly explains the bone washing ceremony that happens during the Day of the Dead celebrations.
Then we make our way to Campeche City which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside the walled city holds many memories for Nelly as she grew up there.
Check out my other videos on the Yucatan Peninsula Mexico - including Merida, Puerto Progreso, Campeche, Izamal, Motul, Valladolid, Tulum and Cancun. Regardless of what you read or hear in Mexico Travel Advisories - this region is incredibly safe. The people are warm and friendly and there is a large expat community that lives there - especially a lot of Canadians. There are direct flights from Toronto to Merida.
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a stunning coastal region decorated with tropical beaches with white coral sand and turquoise blue waters, spectacular wildlife like iguanas, pelicans and pink flamingos, ancient Mayan ruins like Chichen Itza,, small villages, and outdoor adventure activities like cave diving, swimming in the cenotes, parasailing and more!
There are also pink waters found in the salt flats where you’ll find the pink flamingo’s natural habitat.
The colors of the Yucatan and vast covering all colors of the rainbow which you will see especially reflected in the homes and architecture of Merida and Campeche.
The rich Mayan culture is especially prevalent in the food. Some of the most complex and delicious food in the world is to be had in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The cuisines are so rich and complex with flavors and colors it’s truly unique to this part of the world. Stemming from the wide range of tropical fruits, and local produce it combines local spices and ancient Mayan techniques as well as bizarre imported treasures such as Edam cheese from Holland, which is explained by the colorful history of the Mexican people of Yucatan.
Some of the must try dishes of the Yucatan peninsula include pibil and cochinita pibil, Papadzules, Pavo Relleno Negro which is turkey in a dark sauce made from charred chilies and spices, Poc C​huc, Queso Relleno, Salbutes, Sopa de Lima, Sopes just to name a few. The region is also known for their chocolate, merenge desserts and wide arrange of tropical fruits such as the mamey.
I sometimes have to use stock video sometimes if I am missing footage that is helpful in telling the story.
I use my iPhone, GP7 to film. I had a DJI Spark but it crashed.

KZbin recommended you: I already subbed. How are you not more popular?? Your videos are well done, informative and you’re funny and lovely! Waiting on the 🤬 Canadian travel ban so I can finally make it back to my Mérida and pateando la pared 🤗🧳 🌴🦎

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Awe thanks Sophie! I don’t post enough to be popular. I’m more active now on Instagram. Yes - Cda Travel ban sucks but nothing sucks more than this virus. Stay Safe lady!

[@dancingwithnacos]

I love your videos. I found many traditions that I have never knew before. And I'm Mexican.

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

dancingwithnacos awe! Muchas Gracias! I’ll be doing one on a celebration in Nunkini in the future which a lot of people will never have heard of! I love Mexico!

[@dbaktx]

My wife and I just spent two weeks in Campeche. Loved It! We even managed to check out the ruins at Edzna. But the highlight of our trip was further southeast to the Calakmul ruins in the jungle just north of the Guatemalan border. Wow! Howler and spider monkeys, tropical butterflies and armies of cutter ants. Can't wait to go back and do it again.

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

David Boyce glad you enjoyed Campeche!

Where did you stay?

[@alohadave13]

During this pandemic, I spend a lot of time watching KZbin videos. This evening, after discovering your channel, I've been binge watching your videos. So far this is my favorite. I have to assume you are a professional filmmaker, if not, you should be. This one was OUTSTANDING. Thank you for sharing your experience in my adopted home country of Mexico. Saludos de Ensenada, Baja California

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Awe - that means a lot. I’m not a professional- I just wanted to share stories with my phone. I hope you’re staying safe and well. 💪

[@alohadave13]

@@turnleftrighthere2605 At the moment, I'm watching your Taco video in CDMX. This one is incredible also. I can't believe you're still awake and responding! LOL PLEASE come back to Mexico and do more videos. You have done a phenomenal job in capturing the culture, and especially the food here. Again, un mil gracias por compartir tu experiencia viviendo aqui....

[@veronicamedina6261]

Woowww!!! I want to go to a Road trip with all of You!!! Great video

Very enjoyable video. You two look like you had a blast.❤️🤘🏼

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StonedSoup]

Now I really want a Jipi hat. I never knew day of the dead in Mexico was so bad ass. Another awesome vid!

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Right? Coolest hat ever! We're planning a trip to the day of the dead this year end of October! You can meet the gang!

[@drSamovar]

Thanks for including the hat town!......i watched that part TWICE.....making hats in caves!....ive made a few hats myself along the way, but usually out of "other" things...ha.....ill send you a pic of my pineapple hat...somehow i think you'll like it....and the bakery with ham and cheese bread and penis loafs!.....so good....and the cemetary!....i LOVE those little towns and want to spend time in them riding around on the 3 wheeled bikes.....and thanks for stealing AND starring Nellie....Yo corazon Campechana Nellie!...

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Robert Seven awe thanks Robert! I’m glad you enjoyed that part. I was so impressed all the work that goes into it. I understand why they weren’t pushy about selling anything because they actually sell their stuff to boutiques and I hoped to convey they weren’t just a straw hat but rather a piece of art. Yes Nelly is amazing! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@gonzalotorres4167]

Felicidades por tu video nelly. Me encanto tu trabajo de guia de turistas. Soy campechano pero tengo la nostalgia de regresar a visitar toda la peninsula.

[@ggibson191]

And then there was the 'tubby' from Toronto who settled in MX because she's overweight. BTW, Veracruz is one my fave places, along with CDMX and Acapulco. Best of luck...

[@josefinachan3944]

Me gusto mucho tu video. Yo soy se campeche pero hace 30 años me fui a vi vir a otra parte.

[@pippilongstocking-qs7fm]

This was fascinating to me. I've experienced the Day of the Dead celebration in Playa del Carmen several times but was not aware of the beautiful devotion this annual ceremony embraced ♥️

[@mesamealkits7860]

I go to the cemetery on every trip

[@cesarnavarrete7901]

Campeche is one of my fav Mexican cities !

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Awesome!

Hi! I love your videos! Your writing is so good and sometimes I laugh out loud at your humor. Where did you go? Please make more videos. I’m moving to Mexico in two months and I’m so excited. I hope you’re doing well. Thank you for inspiring me! 💃🇲🇽❤️

[@gonzalotorres4167]

Hola me trae muchos recuerdos tus videos. Pude reconocer a zapata bosch pero no recuerdo el nombre de tu mami. Mi memoria no da mas

[@ItalianoWithJodina]

I think you did a great job on this video… It’s so nice to see someone from outside of the country covering the culture and not just how cheap things are. It’s also great that you are getting to know the people. I’m considering Mexico as a place to live for a while. I speak fluent Spanish and I’m hoping to be able to ultimately make local friends versus just be restricted to hanging out with the ex-pat community. Do you have any suggestions for how to do that? How have you been able to make inroads and meet people?

[@gsmarkham]

I can't walt for your next video.

[@timolson2151]

Great job on the video. I am curious if Nelly does translator guide service. I plan to visit Mexico soon but have been hesitant because I don’t know Spanish.

[@lxgnzlz7976]

Would really love to see more of you on your videos and by the way how is your Spanish? ??

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

*LX GNZLZ thanks - the goal of my channel is to expose the views and recommendations of locals so people feel they can get to know the people of Mexico or wherever I’m filming. There are lots of other channels that just feature the vloggers that run the channel and I’m not interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. The downside is that it takes a long time to create an episode and find the right people to be involved. As I do more episodes I reveal more about myself but I’m not looking to have the videos to be all about me. Yes I speak Spanish which is why I spend a lot of time doing the subtitles so more English speaking viewers can really learn about parts of Mexico they may not know if they didn’t speak Spanish. Hope that helps!

[@GaytanGDL]

Love the video, the story, and you two are very nice ladies, but do you really need to get political?? No need! Your videos are al ready good!

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

So are you still in México? What's happening?

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Hi there, I’m back in Toronto. I will be doing more KZbin videos in the future right now I’m focusing on Instagram so I can take care of my Mom. Stay safe!
