Oh please! Valle de Bravo is beautiful and special.

[@BettyA]

Oh wow. It's beautiful. I didn't know about this beautiful place. Oh, there's so much to see and do in Mexico. I think it's going to take most of a lifetime. You guys aren't going to run out of things to see and do anytime in the next few decades ;-)

[@kinetickennons]

haha I think you're right Betty! We could explore for years and still miss out on everything that Mexico has to offer!

[@naamtao2356]

How blessed are you! you can travel, get to know and enjoy Mexico....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kinetickennons]

That is so true!! We are definitely blessed! We are going to try and make the the most of our opportunities, that is for sure:)

[@al950709]

Facts: Valle DB used to be a quiet tiny little paradise during the 80's and 90's where famous and wealthy people used to buy properties there for a get away weekend just because they weren't bothered, they could walk around, get parties and get drunk and stuffed without people taking pictures criticizing and harassing them. These days is more like the urban legend for a touristic place, is pretty similar to what happened to Acapulco back in the 40's or 50's. NOTE: It was never too fancy or poshy at all; at the time I left Mexico 10 years ago VDB was pretty much already noisy and full of tourists. All I said is pretty much confirmed through what I can see from your video. Keep the good life Kennons.

[@kinetickennons]

That is so interesting! That is kind of what Hillary and I thought happened maybe! It has a very interesting vibe!

[@karygarcia4134]

That's where I was born! My Valle.... if now you guys think is beautiful, can't imagine how you reacted if you see it the way it was 40 years ago! So many movies, commercials and soap operas were recorded there!

[@seleneao2156]

Woooow you visited my town, thank you so much, I’m from Valle of Bravo, I live in Portland, OR I miss my country 😭

[@Msflor-tm1gz]

OMG!!😊😍😍I miss that place, but only because I grew up there and I just miss that place so much! Thank you for reminding of that beautiful place!

[@kinetickennons]

That is so cool that you grew up there!!

[@brianstauffacher]

I was there a few months ago with my fiance who lives in Mexico. She took me there and we stayed at a resort on the edge of town. We ate lunch at one of those floating restaurants on the lake. So cool to see a video of all those great memories. Nothing like that here in the United States. And of course we went to see the butterflies and there was not a single one there.

[@rodolfohernandez3759]

Y’all ever want a tour in valle de bravo let me know, I was born there and currently living in Mexico City. Plenty of stuff to do and everything is so cheap.

[@ferminadaza9418]

The fancy and modern houses are located at the other side of the lagoon , You guys are in the old little town , you could see those expensive properties if you take a boat tour or look around with the drone.

[@RafiquiLP94]

Or go paragliding

[@dialoguemosbien.1821]

Kinetic Kennons: ¡Hola muchachos! Me da mucho gusto ver sus videos y saber que ustedes se divierten y que les gusta México. No olviden su reto para aprender cada vez más español. Un saludo cordial, un abrazo y muchas bendiciones para ustedes.

[@renelopez2244]

It’s so nice ... Tranquil and that’s how life is supposed to be. It’s supposed to be lived

[@maricelacastro3574]

Me encanta valle de bravo.

[@ceciliaayon3244]

The town history goes way back...my great grand mother was born there, in a house very close to the church and before there was even a lake (which is a dam built in the 1940's) ☺

[@JavierRodriguez-hp5kh]

Felizidades por utedes y gracias por promover mexico gueros.gracias sigan disfrutando y yo tambien gracias a ustedes cuidense mucho saludos desde menlo park.ca.

[@peggypearson1273]

I love that place! So beautiful!! and charming!! Hope you enjoy your stay there!!

[@jasondalrymple2038]

Valle is an awesome place. I lived in mexico as a child for 8 years in the 1970s' and we used to go down to Valle as much as we could, usually spending two weeks there in the summer. The life was sublime, lots of fab parties, riding fantastic little horses all across the Sierra that surrounds the lake, and mucking about at the gold club... Such a fab and privilidged childhood,..

[@Ivan-jj3lh]

HEyyyy i just saw COCO in 3d it was Amazing. This town reminded me of the town in the movie.

[@ikalnayar7217]

Actually Valle de Bravo is near the area filmmakers visited to inspire themselves for Coco. The Mexican towns located in Michoacán state like Pátzcuaro, Santa Fe de la Laguna, Tzintzuntzan and Janitzio are famous to be one of the most traditional places to experience Día de Muertos celebrations :D Also, near those towns the state capital city called Morelia is a must-see since its Mexican colonial architecture helped to create the Land of the Dead. Please take a look to those towns and also check the México's Tourism Office program called 'Pueblos Mágicos de México' where you can find a lot of traditional Mexican towns with a lot of history, nature, culture, traditions, traditional food and handcrafts!

[@kinetickennons]

I definitely thought of Coco when we were there!!!

[@juanvga1261]

i love love love your videos. there is nothing else i want to watch on youtube. only the two of you!!! love from frederick maryland!!!

[@kinetickennons]

Thank you so much Juan! That means a lot brother! Stay warm up in Maryland!!

[@Jilltoons]

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous place with us. I sure appreciate all your videos. Just love them. Also I am so happy to help you continue to do this. I truly appreciate all the work you do to show everyone how great Mexico is. I leave Sunday for PV for ten days. I can't wait.

[@kinetickennons]

Thank you so much Jill! You are going to have so much fun in PV! We are jealous!!!

[@HereBeBarr]

Glad you visited it !! I had a great few day stay myself.

[@minojagerard8710]

Güeros, lo bonito de Valle de Bravo se ve desde el agua. Tomen el barco Cristal, que los lleva a dar una vuelta. Desde ahí podrán ver el verdadero lujo del lugar. La gente que va de visita casi nunca ve a la parte realmente bonita, porque por fuera es un pueblo más. Pero atrás de las puertas, Valle está lleno de casas que llenan las revistas y libros de arquitectura mexicana.

[@Busybeeee]

Wow! Thank you thank you thank you for showing us Mexico and all it's pretty places! I love Mexico! You guys are awesome!

[@grmeyers]

you guys sure do get around, one day in PV then GDL and now Valle. you must have found my must see places in Mexico book

[@Sanriago98]

My beautiful home, the best food is always found on the street.

[@JamesBond-op3ce]

[@antoniolongino8471]

I have watched a few videos of you guys in the last few months, and only I can say is " thank you " . Thank you for spending your time exploring Mexico ( sorry about la guera and her job, honestly). Thank you for having the courage to head south and live life. Thank you for showing to the globe what Mexico is all about . Feel free to explore Mexico , Embrace it , feel it , make it yours , I personally don't believe in borders or walls . Welcome to Mexico.

[@salvadoresoyyo2097]

[@gera03mv]

[@kinetickennons]

Coming in today's video:)

[@CesarRodriguez-kg2mf]

[@henrydelosarroyos2215]

[@lauraguerra6450]

[@kinetickennons]

[@lauraguerra6450]

Kinetic Kennons the expensive one... and every time i went there i was on a budget so: nada chido jaja.

[@kinetickennons]

jaja we definitelty found it to have an interesting mix of cheap and fancy places. We prefer the cheap jaja

[@lauraguerra6450]

Kinetic Kennons u and me both! That mix of humble and super wealthy right in the same spot is Mexico for you... a country of contrasts for sure which makes it weird and lovely at the same time. ❤️ u guys showing us both! Cause that is what true Mexico is. 🙏🏽

[@irais2012]

[@ismaelgarrido2700]

Kinetic Kennons yes my dad just got retired from naval intelligence in Mexico City and bought the property from a friend in 1997 and since that time we been visiting valle de bravo Acapulco and Mexico City that’s my dad path

[@FlordePrimavera81]

Another beautiful mexican town Valle de Bravo!, thank you gueros for showing it to the world:) have fun :D

[@jesuspalacios1914]

Finally! Yay👍

[@eliseo-nono]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful culture of Mexico.... And remember, people who know a little of other cultures are enriched as a human being.....

[@agortega8008]

So now you went to valle the bravo, kind of close from there is chalma. But now in the lent and more in the good week there is a pretty big pilgrimage to chalma, lots of people from cdmx goes walking there, it's a pretty interesting adventure

[@ramoncblancas7317]

You made a great trip to the sanctuary of the monarch butterflies and went to a great resting place in Valle de Bravo, yes you know how to enjoy your life in Mexico

[@kinetickennons]

We are slowly learning from the locals haha Thank you so much Ramon!

[@rafaecruz8966]

Valle de Bravo Toluca bonito video

[@aranzazuayon2623]

Hey guys you should go to MALINACO mx. It's about 30 min from valle de Bravo , malinalco its my hometown very low key place you are gonna love it. If you need a hotel stay at "Hotel Santa Monica" right on downtown MALINALCO

[@momothinks9292]

It’s nice you enjoyed the unexpected down-to-earth feel to Valle de Bravo. That is in fact one reason wealthy people go there-to experience “small town,” life outside cdmx. Therefore, in the tourist center part of VdB, it will be similar to other small but picturesque provincial places. The difference for the wealthy folk is that they get to go to their million dollar mansions around the lake at the end of the day. And some, of course, who don’t even go to the center of town to mingle with the common folk and just enjoy the water views and water activities from the comfort of their mansions. If you want to see where the truly rich of Mexico live and hang out, where nearly everyone and everything you see, smell, and touch is wealthy, you’ll need a trip north to the city of Garza García in the state of Nuevo León. By the way, just got my KineticKennons T-shirt today-love it.

[@momothinks9292]

Clarification on the city I mentioned. Its actually a municipality of the city of Monterrey and its full name is San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. Cheers!

[@qualqui]

Valle de Bravo, Estado de México, NICE, used to get it confused with Valle de Santiago in Guanajuato State which is more rural and agricultural but VDB is AWESOME, the Church is BEAUTIFUL! :)

[@espe1009]

I love Valle, I'd love to live there.

[@chackaak]

The country houses are located in Avandaro along with the golf club, Valle de Bravo is the village and there is a lot to see and eat there

[@inaweoftheworld]

The luxury spas and retreats are in nearby Avandaro.

[@FerSeverini]

You should visit the expensive side of the shore called AVANDARO & try the gliders

[@melisarios3834]

buen video en valle del bravo saludos

[@arielhernandez9733]

Great place

[@Hemigod57]

I've known about it, but it is a top-notch resort in el Estado de Mexico, west of El DF. You guys should head south and check out the hot (and smelly!) springs in Oaxtepec, Morelos. Google it for some preview pics or simply check out some YT vids! The rotten-egg smelling springs are supposed to be medicinal and therapeutic. If you can pull yourselves away from your gastronomic interests for a bit, relax in the multitude of pools there. Aprovechen, gringos!

[@guillermogreaves1199]

You got to look La Stupa de la Paz, is a Bhudist Stupa in Avandaro (near of valle de Bravo) is Great!

[@juanmanuelguzmanarellano1555]

Les recomiendo ir a Tepoztlán Morelos

[@MrEduardopplalo]

Que chido video

[@ubaldosandoval4794]

Yo vivo en valle de bravo!!!!

[@erasmoruvalcaba3115]

Love you gueta

[@pedroleija]

The Fanncy place is in Avandaro. Is next to Valle de Bravo, probably you already heard about it, hope you can do a Vid of Avandaro. Pd. There was a Festival like woodstock in Avandaro in 1971 very famous in Mexico, may be you should research about it.

[@andresbaltazar2629]

You guys should visit Oaxaca Mexico

[@oliviahill4235]

Cam'on guera !! clowns are cool. Blessings amigossss. A Mexican from California. ♡

[@kinetickennons]

I have no idea why she is so afraid of them haha

[@alroyce3801]

Valle de bravo is an expensive town regarding real estate. Not to mention, the dollars that you have to pay to maintain the house and its expensive toys such us jet skis, speed boats, boats, water skis & parasailing gear etc. In valle de bravo and in many parts of Mexico, you can only see the outside wall of these houses in different colors and its gate/door but you can not see what is behind those walls. Some of these houses are impressive and they well maintain by small crew that work there all year around. The owners in general, they just drive up there, stay at their house and on the lake playing with their toys. Many of them don't go out to the town as they have all they need inside their house. After the weekend or the holidays are over they drive back to Mexico City.

[@urielflores9927]

Hello amigos! I enjoy a lot watching your videos just wanna give you a tip to sound a little bit more accustomed to mexican spanish; at the beginning of the video instead of "vamonos" shorten it to "vamos" and at the end when you say; we upload new videos every time and translate it to "cada vez" replace that translation with "todo el tiempo". Your videos are great.

[@franciscovaldes2717]

Try Morelia and Pátzcuaro. Both are quite near.

[@jchr100]

You guys need to visit Oaxaca, it's something really different, I'd recommend to visit during July, not only the capital but the whole state has a lot to offer.

[@kinetickennons]

That is certainly on our list! We are trying to plan a trip there soon actually:)

[@guillermogreaves1199]

in the way of the stupa yo can eat at el velo de novia (bride´s veil) its a cascade with puestos de comida, very nice, cheap and beautiful

[@ariyouytube]

It's not just for rich people, valle de bravo is for all social classes , but jusr rich people can buy a cottage around the lake and to practice acquatic sports like Sailing ,so on. If you wanna find luxory places in Valle de Bravo, you must search SPAs and golf clubs.

[@samywamy1114]

Amaizing view im from guadalagara jalisco u guys should visist sometime.

[@jaimerueda5795]

Luxury is at the vacation houses around the lake or on the hills.

[@mauriciocorona5485]

the thing is that you guys did not visit Avandaro, that is where luxury is, the golf club houses and all the mansions in the Woods by the waterfalls and little rivers

[@gerardoreyes1875]

That’s were I was born 👍🏻👌🏻

[@silverfox827]

I agree taxco is better and the altitude is getting the best of you guys. No more tortas

[@kinetickennons]

The altitude?? It's 2000 feet lower than CDMX?

[@Armandomartinez-pw3kg]

I have a Question for you Guys been to the piramides of Mexico theotihuacan ? if not you should do it a video =)

[@JennieDreamWeaver]

Armando martinez love Teotihuacan, stunning and a great climb!

[@pachavalos8173]

Yes you should definitely go to the pyramids gogogo

[@kinetickennons]

We haven't been yet but we finally have a trip planned there!

[@minojagerard8710]

Translation to my last comment: Güeros, the beutiful part of Valle de Bravo can be seen from the water. Get on the "Cristal" boat, it takes you for a ride. From there you will be able to appreciate the real luxury of the place. People who visit almost never get to see the really beautiful part of it, because from the outside it is a town like so many others. But behind closed gates, Valle is full of houses that populate the Mexican Architecture magazines and books.

[@TheCesarin40]

You have to visit the SINALOA state and take the train el CHEPE that is going to el cayon del cobre .

[@kinetickennons]

That looks amazing!! So many people have told is that El Chepe is on their Mexico Bucketlist!

[@ACOMX-jl4zf]

😍😍😍

[@frank_loni]

Next stop... Taxco, Guerrero!

[@kinetickennons]

That's what I am hearing!!

[@JulioPerez-ig3nd]

Cuernavaca used to be the gateway for rich people or Acapulco. I don't know on these days.

[@kinetickennons]

We will have to go to find out our selves!!

[@gerardovasquez7535]

Enjoy it my friends!!!! Be careful with the birds 🦅 wera Jajajaja!!!!

That's kind of the vibe we got. Seems like it's changed a lot.

[@juanrm1383]

I want you to come to Tepoztlán and Tlayacapan ,they’re located in Morelos like two hours from Mexico City Do not ignore me guys

[@kinetickennons]

Just to clarify: if we don't respond to you it's not because we are ignoring you...fortunately and unfortunately if we respond to every comment we wouldn't have time left to make videos haha

[@marcoalmazanordaz3898]

[@cesarsanchez5633]

You guys should go to "chalco" really fancy Hahahahaha

[@JuanGarcia-mq3oz]

[@JuanGarcia-mq3oz]

[@maop]

Have people recommended to you to visit Taxco, Guerrero?, is one of the mose beautiful Colonial cities in México, if you liked valle de bravo and Guanajuato you'll love Taxco too.

[@kinetickennons]

We will definitely have to check that out!!

[@PuToKienLeaEstOo]

Les gustó Valle de Bravo ?

[@madmex123]

Whoever told you valle de bravo was a luxury destination was so full of it. I’ve been there several times and I’m definitely not part of the elite. That place is mostly visited by the middle class.

[@kinetickennons]

Blame it on Google.

[@Sergiogacopuma]

Valle de Bravo is one of the favorites town of Gabrielle Solis a.k.a. Eva Longoria where she goes to relax. 😁😁😁
