🇲🇽 MAJESTIC MAPIMÍ, Durango | MEXICO'S Ultimate MAGICAL Town | CERRO de la India | Mexico Travel

[@davidostrowski679]

🇺🇸 I hope you enjoyed Mapimi! This was the final video I filmed in Northern Mexico and was always planned to be the final one from Day 1! If you're an eagle-eyed viewer you may notice the callbacks to Puente de Ojuela, Real de Catorce and Nombre de Dios (I even used the same music from Nombre de Dios) - ICONIC! 🇲🇽 ¡Espero que hayas disfrutado Mapimí! ¡Este fue el último video que filmé en el norte de México y siempre se planeó que fuera el último desde el día 1! Si eres un espectador con ojo de águila, puedes notar las devoluciones de llamada a Puente de Ojuela, Real de Catorce y Nombre de Dios (incluso usé la misma música de Nombre de Dios) - ¡ICÓNICO!

[@SD-gm4iy]

Well done Amigo👏 I will always follow your future travels You're always welcome in Mexico 🇲🇽 We will always receive you como Familia Thank you

[@maremagnus]

Hola hola David, just watching this interesting video and its silent beauty, would you say that this video was one of the most physically challenging videos you did in Mexico? Even though I was born in hot land I can't take too much sun like that in open air, I would have fainted there most likely, nice stroll! Great video! 👍 I loved the drone view from the church and everything else too, take good care and enjoy your travels, see you soon in another video David!

[@matthewbucknell7121]

"spiraling closer to its conclusion", "time to bid farewell to Northern Mexico"... two quotes I wasn't wanting to hear. David, just want you to know that you've done the region and its people well. You've been honest, sincere, kind and humble with what you've created. For many years into the future, I hope that travelers check out your content and use it as a means to make their adventures better. Keep on, keepin' on!

[@matthewbucknell7121]

At the 15:50 mark it looks as if the mountain is looking into the sky. David, you stated that three indigenous groups called this area home. I would imagine this mountain was a place of importance on many levels.

[@davidostrowski679]

all good things must come to an end amigo! I hope more people do visit the north although I can't see it happening anytime soon!

[@manuelgem449]

Yes.. Wish the vids didnt have to come to an end.. Excellent videos as always.. 👍

[@fredericktmiller]

Well said!

[@tinorobles2839]

Muy buenos tus videos yo vivo en Torreón y viví en CD. Obregón y espero regresas a tu casa en Torreón eres muy bienvenido siempre. No nos olvides. Saludos!!!

[@davidostrowski679]

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Definitivamente no me olvidaré de Torreón! ¡Ay Obregón! Ambas grandes ciudades!

[@xochitlmarin6220]

David, fuiste a Parras, Coahuila? ..un pueblo magico espectacular!!

[@jameslimper2258]

Going to miss your mexico videos. My wife is from Durango and Im always watching your videos.

[@ambrosemolina3457]

Going to miss your Mexican videos. You completely different than other utubers. Best of luck. Mexico awaits your return. Good luck amigo

[@JoeSmith-ym5rv]

David! Another amazing video about northern Mexico! If you’d like, you should listen to Cadetes De Linares. They are an icon of norteño music! They actually have a song about Mapimí. It is called “Los Dos Amigos”. It is a classic norteño music song. Looking forward to more content! 😘😘😘💥💥💥🙌🙌🙌🍾🍾🍾🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

[@normaabuasba6803]

WOW ESTOY MUY IMPRECIONADA CON TU TRABAJO. SIGUELO ACIENDO. KEEP DOING IT YOU ARE SO GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO I WAS VERY SAD AND YOU MADE ME VERY HAPPY WITH YOUR VIDEOS. I LIVED IN TORREON LONG TIME AGO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LAS GORDITAS DE TORREON SON LAS MEJORES QUE HE COMIDO EN TODA MI VIDA. TU CONTENIDO ES UNICO. FELICIDADES Y REGRESA A TORREON POR FAVOR.

[@maryjoan4128]

Fabulous.fearless.....l will dearly miss your wonderful Mexico videos... keep well and blessings on your future endeavors.. Cheers

[@MariaMarquez-ok4hf]

David, that was perfection. Pueblos Magicos are truly redeemed. Beautiful colors on the buildings, 🌺, made it into a desert oasis of loveliness! Lol, sorry vegans! Soy vegana. 😉 And the song at the end, reminiscent of last year. Bittersweet, you made me laugh and get teary as well. Epic video! ❤️❤️

[@davidostrowski679]

Total redemption storyline! JAJA I had to put the shot of the gorditas before the 'knowing look' when I said sorry vegans. I hope people get the humour LOL. I knew you'd remember the song. It's iconic Durango! In my head this was my final Mexico video (although I'm filming a couple more), It wrapped up a few storylines going back to Real de Catorce!

[@wtfc4739]

lkng at the mountain almost burst into tears 😢

[@davidostrowski679]

Me too! Totally top tier! Love the hills and mountains in Northern Mexico!

[@mariapalacios2195]

Love your videos.Like your points of view.Very special.¡¡¡¡

[@fredericktmiller]

Welcome back to un Continente Magico! It tends to start at the Rome airport. Maybe starring Cary Grant. I liked I Go Blind - Eastern Plain or whoever was singing - the song - Everyone's a hero nowadays. With or without KZbin you are a knight armed with observation and gentle sarcasm. If our world is our hero what are we? Buenos Viajes!

[@davidostrowski679]

That song was originally used in the Nombre de Dios video last year, it's my Durango song!

[@elkamaleon]

Mapimi!!! chidote!!! solo 1 vez he ido, seguimos siguiendo tus pasos David!!!

Nací en Torreón y me crié en Bermejillo 🎆Gracias por sus videos muy buen trabajo🇲🇽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎆

[@davidostrowski679]

Bermijillo! ¡Claro que pasé por ahí de camino a Mapimí y Ojuela! Un chico que conozco cuyos abuelos nacieron allí me habló de un gran restaurante de pollo por el que pasamos. 'El Pavo' creo!

I live in Durango nuevo ideal Durango, and love it 😀

[@davidgardner1067]

Excellent video David. I live your camera work and watching all the interesting places you find. It's funny, back in the 90's when I was visiting to Mexico, I would just walk by myself all over and find all sorts of neat things. How I love Mexico. I wish you all the best in your travels.

[@albfra.5842]

Esa iglesia en medio de la nada. Que lugar tan mágico.

[@joshuaarcona7579]

Thanks for showing these lesser known cities in Northern Mexico. Northern Mexico can be truly magical as you have shown. Cheers!

[@pifasdiablo1128]

Excelente tus videos, pero hubieras ido el lunes 25 de julio a MAPIMI era el aniversario,..... saludos eres el mejor. Son muy pocas del extranjero que visitan lugares como mapimi.felicidades.

[@pricilatorres1471]

Thanks for visiting my land and having a love for it. I used to live 40 minutes away from Mapimi, love your content!!

[@salvatore4628]

WOW ...!!! Vaya que te la rifas!!! Nadie , ningún otro youtuber hace lo que tú. Excelente...eres un gran youtuber y persona...!!! Bendiciones y saludos....David..!

[@fredericktmiller]

Soy de acuerdo!

[@tammiepulley7167]

David. You are a great diplomat for Mexico. Bravo. Love your channel. Now I want a Gordita.

[@franciscosaldana2879]

That music at the end was perfect, winsome. The mountain is beautiful, the long vistas capture the Northern Mexico environment surrounding the pueblos and cities in the high desert. It seems to me that the Northern Mexican pueblos magicos are as pretty as farther south without the boutique feeling. At any rate great video, yo are saying farewell for now to see new lands and explore new aspects of media communication, teaching, wish you the best, great job showing us the non-tourist Mexico, you will back.

[@davidostrowski679]

Gracias amigo, I need a long break from Mexico, you never know I may return in a couple of years!

[@bertgroeneveld57]

Thanks so much for a great series on Mexico. Mapimi has a special place in our hearts as well. So much I recognize from when we were there about 5 weeks ago ! We ate Corditas at the same place (we were brought there by a man who worked at the Municipal building used a few buildings to the left when standing in front of Carillo's Taqueria. We took pictures on the stairs of the Kiosk (the same man asking us to do so, in order to put it In the local Newspaper) He also advised us to go to see the nearby Botanical Gardens setup by the Uni of Torreon in order to teach about all the local plants and trees and cactus. As I mentioned before, my wife's roots lie in Mapimi (great grandparents) so for us it was great to visit it. And I sa you having a Fresca....how I miss those ! And he.....whenever you're in the neighborhood , feel free to drop by.

[@deedeecluch9006]

Good luck on your next adventure. You’re struggling with that desert heat mate. No worries, if you do return Parras has 3 huge water tanks. It is a literal oasis in the desert Nestled in the hills. Those tanks are not pools, but where the water gathers coming down from the mountains. And there are no kiosks at their plazas. I was there last week and I brought back with me freshly squeezed grape juice. You’re missing out mate.

[@carloscervantes521]

Se me hizo agua la boca con la gordita de huevo 😂 saludos David

[@awilsonatl]

Another educational and enjoyable video. Sorry to see these coming to an end. Great wind down at the end of this video - drone shots, music and commentary were so authentically well done, within the context of wrapping things up.

[@visulino]

Thank you, it was very nice, but that isolated church of condoms in the middle of a desert next to a massive mountain was unique.

[@davidostrowski679]

'Church of Condoms' JAJA. It reminded me of the cave I went in up a hill in Iztapalapa, but that time they were empty packets!

[@flightoffancy]

My mother was born in Mapimi. Thanks for showing me what it looks like 😮. I’m too chicken to go there myself.

[@albertopedroza7651]

David have a nice trip to Croatia, thanks for this last video in Normex Amigo Lagunero, we'll miss you.

[@davidostrowski679]

Serbia! Lol gracias amigo!

Man you make great videos, thanks for all effort.

[@Maldives2025]

sad, you have explored Mexico and displayed it well, both good and bad aspects! will miss the Mexico exploration!

[@debbiecassel5839]

I hope you reconsider traveling and filming. I love your videos!

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks Debbie! After 6 years I'm literally a corpse lol. I might return after a year off but basically I just want to have opportunity to do new things you know!

[@carloslopez-81]

This travel was good and you were great walking up to get to that church, i think that was a hard walk with a hot weather but you are strong and that raspado gave you some energy, i like raspados too 🍧, thanks for show us this vídeo of mapimi, god bless you david ✌🏻🙂

[@manuelgem449]

You forgot to put salsa on your gorditas david! 😂

Jaja I asked but they only had rojo. I'm a verde man nowadays!!!

I really wish you can do a second round for Northern Mexico again. I will also be waiting for your videos from the South side. If you happen to be in the Fiestas Patrias in September in Mexico City, I hope I can see you over there. I will stay there for vacations. Greetings from Hermosillo, Sonora.

[@davidostrowski679]

Hey this is the second round lol, south videos were all 2018-2020. I'm not making videos for much longer.

[@RayDeLaCroix]

@@davidostrowski679 Please, David, don't say that. You're very talented in your narrative when describing a place you're visiting. I really love that combination of a humble persona and a 4K quality video. What is really next to come for this channel? I mean, apart from the Southern Mexico videos. Will you do other countries?

[@saratemp790]

Thanks for the videos!

[@lewisgamiz7459]

Amazing you are in every corner of Mexico, you should be in National Geographic

[@dorianbelen]

I have fallen in love with these videos for the towns of northern Mexico and that unfortunately is the only thing that Hollywood producers know. since they believe that this is how all of Mexico is. When you get a chance. you can enter a Mexican cemetery. It is an incredible peace. Also some simple churches come alive with smells and sounds with the people inside and take on different personalities. It all depends on the type of ceremonies they have that day. Definitely. You are one of the few lucky English gentlemen who enjoy a Mexico unknown to international tourism. It's just an intimate encounter between you and real Mexicans! Buena suerte amigo y vaya con Dios!

[@pcookson]

I found red taxi style collectivos in the Soriano parking lot at the far north side of Gomez Palacio as you are leaving the city. It was 45 pesos to Bermejillo halfway to Mapimí. The driver dropped me And 3 others on a central corner where I waited and found a second taxi collectivo to Mapimí for 50 pesos. Took about hour and half total. Still have to walk to the mine and bridge since taxis are not allowed in that park. From Mapimí you can take local bus back to Torreon area for 30 pesos

[@davidostrowski679]

Great info! I swear it's the most difficult to figure out journey ever. That goddamn Soriana you mentioned was my second home lol

[@remy5383]

Visita otro pueblo mágico de Coahuila por ejemplo Parras prueba los vinos

[@magnum4989]

discada is popular up here in cd. juarez/ el paso

[@pcookson]

Hotel Viva Villa just as you enter town is good option. Only 400 pesos and comfortable with about the only restaurant I found open on a Wednesday

[@VickoRevolver]

Bro I still don't know how you chose Mapimí instead of Parras, I hope you can go one day.

[@davidostrowski679]

Parras didn't really look like my thing at all. I'm not interested in wineries or winery history plus I don't drink because I'm an addict lol. And Cerro de la India was always on my list since last year

[@beckyc104]

In New Mexico you would have stumbled onto a morada, locked simple church in the mountains,which is used by los penitentes, a catholic offshoot. I wonder if there’s similar in Mexico? I thought it was purely a Northern New Mexico thing, and maybe it is. I’m glad the little whiptail lizard dropped by. In my childhood we used to stalk and catch them in the silence of the desert. Different to your childhood.

[@ricardoacosta6239]

You didn't go to jerez this year amigo ?

[@davidostrowski679]

No I was considering it but after filming 2 videos there already I decided I didn't really have anything else to add, so I decided on the Guadalupe video instead!

Visit Guadalajara when you have the chance, specially the financial neighborhood and the area between Guadalajara and Zapopan municipalities. There are a LOT of of tech professionals from India. Generally speaking, I recommend you to avoid northern Mexico.

If you come back to Mapimí any day, visit the caves "Grutas del Rosario" and the new giant christ "El Señor de Mapimí", you will be welcome hermano Lagunero.
