*Have you been up the Torre Latinoamericana?*

[@Fantasticgenius38]

I did not want to miss dis!!😥😥😥😥😥

[@josedejesuspachecoluna6645]

I was about to do it but can not 😐

[@eduardooramadelpilar268]

Wow, must have been incredible 🇵🇷🇺🇸✌😎

[@joseramonfloresmartinez4167]

If I have visited the Latin American Tower. The views are beautiful and you were lucky that there was no smog and you appreciated the Popocatepetl and Ixtlazihac volcanoes. Congratulations!!! Do not forget the Parade of the Day of the Dead, it's on Avenida Paseo de la Reforma.

[@JoMaSaOfficial]

Wow ! Bucket list for sure ..... thanks man

[@SlenderAsshoIe]

It was the first major successful skyscraper in the world to be built on a highly seismic land. The engineering and architecture of the building was absolutely innovative when it was first built, with super deep foundations and other anti-earthquake techniques.

[@TheNewTravel]

Interesting!

[@TheNewTravel]

Posting today's video early because I have to get ready to film the Día de Muertos parade. It's going to be so much fun. Have a great Saturday everyone :)

[@budau7101]

Some day, try to go to Tepotzotlán, Edomex or Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, its all the towns decorated

[@AlejandroLopez-ps7rp]

Looking forward to your video Dan. Have you guys seen Coco yet??

[@erikciccone2810]

I’m gonna be near El ángel, hope to see you there!

[@norafl2821]

I was born there bit jave never been ip there but I will in my next trip to México. Thanks for the video, you and the kenetickennons inspire me to see more of the place I was born in 👍.

[@ralphtorrecillas4054]

I like more the view from the “Mirador monumento a la revolución “ is so awesome

[@HereBeBarr]

One of the first buildings I remember from CDMX and I never went to the top !!

[@TheNewTravel]

Yes, I agree... time to come back ;)

The Torre Latinoamericana is a landmark of Mexico City, when it was completed it was the tallest building in the world outside of the U.S. and it was the first high-rise to have an entire glass / aluminum facade, also its structural system has been recognized and awarded for innovation in the construction system that has been replicated in other seismic territories... It's a little more impressive when you think that this was built almost over 60 years ago, Mexican engineers man... ¡Viva México!

[@bebyrodrigues2347]

Única torre en el mundo que a resistido tantos terremotos mi respeto saludos cordiales desde Panamá 🇵🇦

[@nideaqui...nidealla9928]

Recuerdo cuando mi papá, nos llevaba a mis hermanos y ami ahi, habló del año 80 y tantos, que éramos pequeños. Sin duda, estar ahí arriba, es todo un espectáculo. Ahora que mi querido padre no está más. Ver este video me trae recuerdos😞

[@OmmHmo]

Como me encantan los videos de "the New travel" por favor sigue dándonos este hermoso material, hacen muy bonita pareja tu y nari oh, saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[@world_mem7567]

Great video Dan!, Actually ¨Torre Latinoamericana¨was built between 1948-1956, and inaugurated on April 1956. It was one of the first skyscrapers on the world, if not the first one with aluminium and glass facade, and because its central location in the historic district it is one of the best views of Mexico City.

[@DobleD1997]

Both the Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl volcanoes have perpetual glaciers on top, or had I don't know about their current status sadly due to climate change. And so does "Pico de Orizaba" the tallest mountain/volcano in Mexico. There are actual glaciers here, crazy, huh?

[@HereBeBarr]

Damn digging this tune !!

[@GoLakers20111]

I been to the Latin America Tower it was Amazing with an Amazing 360 View of the City Actually it was Built in 1956 the Building was design very Similar as the Empire State Building in New York City as well as Material that use for the Latin America Tower this Buildings Survived Many earthquakes one in 1957 and the Strongest one in 1985 and from Last Year and when you see some Picture of the 1985 Earthquake you will see how Amazing that many Building claps but the Tower is Still Standing Strong.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

They sure need guards to help the pedestrians cross the road at 1:09. I've never seen anything like it! Those cars didn't even slow down when people started crossing. I love the mug with the smiling skyscraper on it haha. I would have so bought one of those! Wow at those insane views from the top! That's a truly beautiful spot to watch the sunset. Omg that moon! That's absolutely breathtaking

[@gusparra1259]

So lucky you were Dan! That clear sky during the sunset and the full moon, it's just breathtaking. I envy you, bro.

[@cherrygum3800]

Being there it's amazing! I went up in a christmas night and it was crowded but pretty good. The lights, colors. I loved being there

[@K1k05]

Getting old, I remember staying at the Ritz Carlton nearby, nearly 55 years ago but we didn't go to the tower, time for a road trip. Thanks for the memory kids. lol

[@joseramonfloresmartinez4167]

The visits are beautiful, you can even see the entire Valley of Mexico and its volcanoes. At the time it was the tallest building in the world. Best regards from Querétaro, Mexico. And the Day of the Dead is coming, where we celebrate LIFE !!!

Dan, you never dissapoint me. It is a great, great, great video. Everything was perfect, the weather, the music, your calmed voice, etc. Thanks for making my day. This is a video I can see many, many times.

[@miguelangelgertz33]

That beautiful mountains with snow are the volcanoes Iztacihuatl and the Popocatepetl (wich is active). That mountains are legendary in the mexican culture and also have a beautiful legend (you should read it). Actually you should go to the "Paso de Cortés" wich is a space between that two volcanoes. When Cortes arrived to México he was impressed by the volcanoes, actually the recharge powder for their canions. Or for example, Maximiliano de Habsburgo, lived in the Palacio de Chapultepec and all the mornings he went out to the balcony to watch the volcano.

Very beautiful Mexico city video. Nice creation. Great work friends.

[@jobula07]

Beautiful views of our capital! You’re so lucky getting a clear day, no pollution and no clouds. The mountains with snow, are actually volcanoes second and third highest elevations in Mexico (Popocatépetl {still active) and Iztaccíhuatl {Sleeping Woman because of its shape at the top}) on the other side is the city of Puebla. Go to For dinner to Bellinis at the top of the WTC. It spins and you get a 360 degrees view of CDMX. I hope you friend enjoy Mexico City too! Regards

[@qualqui]

CDMX never fails to amaze and delight me, a indio ranchero from provincia,...hehehe,....that street crossing, like, Dan are you sure this is CDMX?!! For a second all the people crossing looked like busy Tokyo, Japan! As for the view off the top of Torre LatinoAmericana, AWESOME! That snow covered mountain you mentioned, the outline of the mountain looked like that of a sleeping woman, it could be the Ixtaccihuatl(White sleeping woman in náhuatl).

[@marianoaguil7562]

wow is amazing video and beutiful view Mexico city, I like so mucho Lationoamericana tower, greetings from Puebla.

[@Vancouver_Dan]

You were so lucky to have such a perfect clear day! The views you captured across the valley and all the way to the volcanos are amazing!

[@DiscoverWithDima]

awesome views from the top! it definitely looks pretty beautiful. great video dan!!

[@lelandpeck4585]

spectacular, Dan. I was on the tower abut 15 years ago at night and it was great seeing all the city lights, but your video was the best.. You were very fortunate to have such a clear day. Wow !

[@bugfresh1]

Nice video! My wife and I visited Tijuana a few days ago. I was kinda nervous at first being way out of our element and hearing different info, but we warmed up after the ppl starting greeting us and welcoming us to Mexico. They were super nice, we will be back!!!!

[@eduardojimenez434]

It is always nice to see your city through the eyes of a foreigner. I hope you return to this country soon and continue discovering how beautiful it is.

I was up there in 1968, can still clearly remember 😀 Estupendo...!

So lucky to get such clear sky! The snowed mountain is the Iztlacihuatl volcano (Aztec name for Sleeping woman). Lovely video Dan!

[@olbap9876]

When the tower was built it was the tallest building in the world out of the United States. Has survived three big earthquakes 1957 (when the independence angel fall down), 1985 and 2017.

[@cesarmartinez7524]

Well done bro , greetings from MEXICO CITY

[@jesusaranda3726]

I remember our plane made a sharp turn right above this tower back in 2013, and I could look down at it across through the window on the other side of the plane. I remember thinking how beautiful this tower looked from way up there. It was my first time in Mexico City and I had only ever seen it in pictures before. I really wanna go back there and hopefully visit the observation deck. Being from Chicago, I'm a little unimpressed by other cities' building's heights, but just the fact that this was the first skyscraper in one of the most seismically active cities on earth, just makes it all that more impressive.

[@enriquedejesus7408]

Awesome video :) good job :)

As always a beautiful video, great photos and the mountains were Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl the volcanos, and the the other thing about the moon is that we have a phrase that the most beautiful moons are in October.

[@tlacaelelgarduno1722]

The mountains that you saw, are: Popocatepetl and Itztaccihuatl and the both of them are volcanos.

At 1:20 the yellow building is a fan store called “friky plaza”. Inside the 4-story building are little independent local stores that sell: Mangas, animes, action figures, yu-gi-ho card games, anime related clothing or t-shirts, video games, Japanese or Corean dramas, food (I wouldn’t recommend eating there because it tastes really awful.), And Marvel and DC comic magazines, I’m not sure if there are English translated content, but the majority is in Spanish. (The place is really small and smells strange)

I've always wanted to see the city on top of the Torre Latino, but i get pretty scared and dizzy with the view of Monumento a la revolución so maybe it's not a good idea for me to try it 😅 Anyways nice video as always Dan.

[@JimFaindel]

It's all about the little things in life... or the big ones, as was the case here. If you liked the view from there, you should one day make the hike up those beautiful snowy volcanos, with enough preparation, a guide and on the right season, of course

[@Vic_NuRom]

Dang I went there twice this year but didn’t even think about going to the Torre Latinoamericana. Next time for sure.

[@rynasanchez9358]

See you next tim guys take care

[@tomcruise8603]

It was the first skyscraper in the world covered completely with glass

[@jerard10]

Cool

[@vquinto]

In my opinion still a marvel of engineering because has a hydraulic system that allows the latin tower during an earthquakes.

[@MC-fd6ne]

If you want to have a fancy dinner, maybe celebrate something, there's a restaurant called Bellinis at the wtc tower that spins and the view is even better than the one in the tower. But yes, it is a fsncy restaurant with high prices, but once in a lifetime it's worth it

[@seromeg]

the snowy mountain is called Iztaccihuatl
