Hola! La verdad es que no he estado en México todavía. Me gustan tus vídeos especialmente lo de los viajes. Me encanta el tema de tu vlog porque no sólo nos enseñas cómo se puede hablar en español sino nos enseñas la belleza de México también. Genial!! Saludos desde Filipinas.

The Catedral Metropolitana is not just the oldest Cathedral in Latin America but in Canada and the United States as well.

[@emmanuel1687]

Ernest Cain Salgado it’s the oldest in the America’s

[@findingbigfootwithbothhand507]

Hermosa Ciudad De México 🇲🇽

[@Travelsandmore333]

It’s not the oldest cathedral in Latin America! The oldest cathedral in the whole Western Hemisphere is in Merida Yucatán!

[@SpanishandGo]

¡Hola Ivan! We actually thought about this a lot before putting it in the video. The history is a little bit complicated, but there is a clarification on our website. The link to the post can be found in the description of this video, but here's the explanation: *The oldest standing cathedral in Latin America is the St. Ildephonsus Cathedral in Mérida, México and was completed in 1598. However, the original Catedral Metropolitana in Mexico City was first constructed much earlier than that, and was established as a cathedral in 1534. The Spanish later decided that the size of the original Catedral Metropolitana was too small, so they destroyed it and built the one we see today in its place. Thanks for leaving us a comment!

[@eduardof7322]

Ivan Corona Santo Domingo's Cathedral in Republica Dominicana is even older than San Idelfonso Cathedral in Merida City. I tell you this not as a Dominican but as a Mexican.

[@luisamador9297]

No, yo lei el libro y es la cathedral es la mas vieja en todo el continente Americano.

[@eduardof7322]

Luis Amador: La Catedral de San Idelfonso en la ciudad de Mérida, Yucatán, comenzada a construirse en 1562 y concluida en 1599, sí es la más antigua de toda América CONTINENTAL, es decir, todo lo que es tierra firme, pero si también contamos la América Insular (Las islas que no forman parte de la plataforma continental pero que sí son parte de América) la Catedral Primada de América, en la ciudad de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, cuya construcción inició en 1521 y concluyó en 1541 es la catedral más antigua de todo el continente. Sin embargo, de lo que habla el video es de una confusión relativamente común: La primera Catedral Metropolitana de Ciudad de México, fue construida entre 1524 y 1532, siendo elevada a "Catedral" por el papa Clemente VII en 1534, con lo que se convirtió en el primer templo en América en ser considerado "Catedral" y con esto podríamos decir que fue "La primera catedral de América". A pesar de eso, esta primera catedral no sobrevive hasta nuestros días, pues al poco de ser construida se dieron cuenta que resultaba ser demasiado pequeña e insuficiente par las demandas de una gran ciudad, por lo que decidió ser derribada y la primera piedra de una nueva y monumental Catedral Metropolitana de 7 naves fue colocada en el mismo sitio el año de 1571, con la esperanza de concluirla en 10 o máximo 15 años...al final terminaría tardándose casi 250 años, todo lo que duró la colonia en México, pero esa es otra historia. El caso aquí es que la actual Catedral Metropolitana no es el mismo templo que el primero, y de hecho las ruinas de este (Algunos escalones, mosaicos y columnas) pueden ser observados hoy en día a través de ventanas arqueológicas en el atrio del templo actual, y considerar a la actual Catedral Metropolitana un mismo templo que el anterior, resulta complicado y debatible. El caso aquí es que así podríamos decir que en cierta forma hay tres "catedrales más antiguas de todo el continente", cada una a su manera.

may I use this video for a music video I am making? I'll credit you in the video.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, I too film natural sight and sound gopro walks in soulful cities, and I'm a real lover of watching such things, so it's great to see your interesting and absorbing video, as I've never been and would like to one day (I've just filmed a walk of Cozumel amongst others, if you'd like to see that in return?) I really enjoyed traveling with you a while. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jamc_latino]

very good video! Bravo!

[@marcoa.peraltasanchez1316]

Jim and Mai, this place in México City, is very important IN THE HISTORY , HIS NAME IS ... THE PLACE OF THE 3 CULTURES .... YOU CAN SEE, THE ANTIQUE CULTURE ( AZTECS ), MODERN CULTURE , AND ACTUAL CULTURE... IF YOU PUT, YOUR CAMERA IN LONG DISTANCE, YOU CAN APRESIATE THE ARQUITECTURE, OF THE BUILDINGS, ANTIQUE, MODERN AND ACTUALITY

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you for sharing your video. We film natural 4k walks too mainly in Europe so it's lovely to see others doing something similar in places we haven't been to (but now feel we have). We enjoyed absorbing your video and losing ourselves in it. We look forward to seeing more. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and share more of the same?

[@SpanishandGo]

Very cool. I’ll have to check out some of your videos. That sounds very relaxing. Thanks for watching! -Jim

[@mariocisneros911]

Shame that Chicago' s mayor tore down our architecture treasures from 1872- 1919 during the 1955-79

[@Wilowish]

I got homework to do notes on this

[@SpanishandGo]

Really? That’s awesome. I mean, homework isn’t awesome, but thanks for watching! -Jim

[@centeno2254]

There are more than 20 million people in Mexico City.

[@SpanishandGo]

Centeno thanks for the comment! We try to be as accurate as possible in our videos. The last official census at the time I’m writing this was in 2015 and states that 8,918,653 people live in Mexico City. This figure is in the Encuesta Intercensal 2015 (Consensus Survey 2015). We’re in Mexico City again now though and can try recounting for you. 😂

[@MrsStardust1970]

I am one of them

[@ramsesfarias6167]

Not in the actual city, but there is in the MSA. Lots of people get confused by this.

[@OscarRodriguez-ri3ky]

La Ciudad de México cuenta con casi 9 millones. La zona metropolitana Del Valle de Mexico es la que tiene mas de 20 millones. Saludos desde el norte del país. :)

[@Thomas-Bradley]

Well the city definitely looks more majestic than D.C.

[@gabyontiveros7753]

No es una ciudad construida en las ruinas de Tenochtitlan sino que destruyeron la ciudad anterior ,y con eso construyeron la nueva ciudad

Hmm... There's a lot of history to be rewritten then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_religion -Jim

[@wetguavass]

[@santivilla_2469]

Hello I literally am disgusted.... you think we didn’t have gods? There’s literally a whole book for Aztec gods
