THIS IS MEXICOS HIPPIE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE : San Jose del Pacifico (famous for its magic mushrooms)

We arrived in San Jose del Pacifico, a small mountain village in Mexico well known for its magic mushrooms. Hippie travelers find their way to this small place between Oaxaca and the coast. In this video, we take you along and show you this place to see if it is worth a visit.

[@alfredoalvarado8781]

Seems like you guys really liked the tamales. You came back for more. They’re delicious!!!

[@LotusGeorge]

haha yesss sooo good! Amazing actually :)

[@jameslopezmartinez53]

Eat mushrooms, it is not only for hippies, but it is work for the rest of your life, it is not an experience, it is a transformation and then go to the beach in mazunte. enjoy!

[@LotusGeorge]

True these things can be truly transformational :)

[@noahrodriguez4657]

Tamales are the best

[@arturoenriquezjimenez2513]

You need to visit Cuetzalan in the state of Puebla, it is an incredible magical town on a mountain, it is very cheap and I recommend hiring a local Guide because there are Aquatic Caves, Dry Caves, Waterfalls, even an archaeological zone, When I visited Cuetzalan I stayed at the Posada Molina Hotel and Suites, it is a great Hotel, I live in Mexico City, good videos, your videos help me with my English

[@LotusGeorge]

Thank you so much for your comment. Wow We really want to visit that place now, it sounds amazing! :) I hope we can go there! We are happy to have you here, welcome to our channel :)

[@normaortega1284]

You both are lovely! Eating good tamales after hiking sounds good.

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much! Yes tamales are a perfect after hike meal

[@paulinajedrzejczyk7381]

I travelled for several months in Oaxaca and I strongly reccomend you San Mateo Río Hondo in the area. Just around 20 minutes from San Jose. Less known, more off beaten track and in the middle of a forest. Have fun on your travels, Mexico is awesome and such a great place to be during pandemic..

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks for sharing! Yes San Jose was a bit a touristy place. If we manage to go back to that are we will definitely follow your advise Welcome to our channel :)

[@JoseAntonio-ng5yu]

Jumping Places were also there in this days

[@LotusGeorge]

True! Unfortunately we didn't see them there! Who knows well meet them somewhere else :)

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

I was going to say that! I think they are off to Chiapas now! Oh im so jealous, have fun 🤩 SabrinaFromLondon 🇬🇧

[@JoseAntonio-ng5yu]

They were probably there about 1 or 2 days before you

[@natureshare4006]

Happy day , beautiful views, I enjoy watching, thanks for sharing my friend

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks for the tips! Yes Mexico just has tooo many great places!

Hi, Lotus & George! Με χαρά βλέπω πως ξεκινήσατε τα ταξίδια σας και περίμενα τόσο να σας δω! Εύχομαι να είστε πάντα καλά και να μας ταξιδεύετε! Happy travels!!!

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much for your support :)

[@maryloug4348]

My gosh that seemed like a long hike haha...but nice view & I wanted to taste the tamales 😋 ☺️😘🤟♥️

[@LotusGeorge]

hahaha yes it was, pretty intense.. We LOVED the tamales and were so hungry after the big hike

[@fherzprime2510]

Tengan cuidado con el sol, muy fuerte en estos días el calor es intenso, lleven mucha agua 😼, y también la altitud es mucha, los que están acostumbrados a vivir en lugares a nivel del mar o bajos les cuesta mucho trabajo respirar 🧐, los tamalitos saben mejor temprano con un atole o un café de olla 🤤, igual son más ricos después de una caminata por el bosque 🐺👍. Muy buenos videos chicos ✌️👌

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much! Yes we had to drink more water, Lotus felt a little sick after the hike.. Thanks for your comment! Appreciate it :)

[@mercedesbenzi1259]

i was waiting for the part you were going to eat the mushrooms??! not cool you guys

[@LotusGeorge]

haha it wasn't really the season there now. They didn't grow there when we were there

[@Alexam2008]

Hi Lotus and George! Is great to see you and witness your adventure! Thanks for showing San Jose del Pacifico! The mountains where it is located offers magnificent views! Lovely area! Take care of yourselves and stay safe guys!

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much for your support ton our channel! We appreciate you as our subscriber. Mexico has beautiful mountains

[@hetavontuur8130]

Next time just take more water with you instead of getting used to less. Water is important!🤓👍🏽

[@LotusGeorge]

So true! Water is very important!

[@terren1275]

glad youtube recommended your channel. you guys seem very authentic and genuine. welcome to mexico. my home is your home! mexico is the birthplace of corn, avocados, chocolate, tomatoes, pumpkin and many peppers and some foods like tamales and tortillas are thousands of years old. hope you try all these real mexican foods and drinks. oaxaca is one of the top 3 places for food. tlayuladas are delicious. also,like Greece, Mexico had lots of ancient civilizations and you can visit their arqueological sites. monte alban in oaxaca is one of them. lastly, i recommend visiting the colonial cities like taxco, queretaro, morelia, san miguel de allende , merida where you will see the true charm of Mexico. the people full of life, music, vibrance. safe travels, looking forward to more videos :)

You need to visit magic town of "Taxco" in Guerrero. You won't regret it. Everyone foreigner likes it. Or magic town of "San Miguel de Allende" in Guanajuato also a super cool town. This two towns you won't regret.

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much. We will definitely look it up :) Mexico has so many great places

[@imstillhereileft7530]

I love tamales, yes there made with love , have you tried the steam baths ? This will another place on my bucket list , thanks for a great video, peace ✌️, research Puebla , much calmer than Mexico City & cheaper , it’s another magic town & the food ? Oooooofff , to die for , safe travels

[@LotusGeorge]

Tamales are amazing! haha but you saw that in the video ( that we LOVE them) At the end we did not try the steam bath, unfortunately. we have to do it once. Thanks for you support!

Hi guys, I have a doubt.... Do you speak spanish? I saw when the woman told you how much was it for everything, you paid without problem 🤔

[@LotusGeorge]

We don't unfortunately but we try to improve every day and by now we usually understand the prices etc, we know the numbers

[@NikosMetaxotos]

If you find sleeping on the beach, in a tent, near a fire interesting I'd love to see that once you get down near sea. Also, I feel like life as a tourist in Mexico, even in Mexico city, is quite affordable is that right?

[@LotusGeorge]

Yes! We LOVE that, and will definitely do that if we find a beach that's safe enough. :) Hmm.. depends we are really track of our budget and yes you CAN travel cheap in Mexico but its also very very easy to spend more..

[@jorgezamora5111]

By the way Mexico has the most species of connifers in the world,,80% its mountains

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks for the comment :)

if you came back to oaxaca city i would love to show you important places on the city!

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much! We appreciate a lot

[@TheArcadeMania]

Visit Monterrey, it is an Industrial city in the North of Mexico. Here you can visit La Huasteca, It is a "park" between teh mountains. And we have "Publos Magicos" near to the city. You can visit the Barrio Antiguo (they are veggie restaurants, bars, and museums), And you can take a walk in the Fundidora Park, this place was a metal foundry in the past but they closed in early 80´s, and now the surface is home of open air music festivals, expos, an artificial lake, and of course a park. There is also a Hotel and a Restaurant installed in an old big foundry oven. You can visit also La Cola de Caballo, El Cerro de la Silla (our emblematic mountain), Chipinque whis is a place to walk between the nature and see bears and many other species (not a zoo, they are free, they live there), Las grutas de Garcia, and of course you have to try our emblematic dish Cabrito al Pasotr (Lamb with citric taste and some spices).

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks SO much for you comment! Wow! You make Monterrey sound amazing. I (Lotus) actually have a friend living there so might really be worth it to travel up North.. I hope so! Mexico is amazing but definitely huge :)

[@alejandroe5573]

When is mushroom season?

[@LotusGeorge]

I think it starts in June/ July .. but not sure! That’s what people were saying when we were there

[@rupachotkan6318]

Helemaal gaaf.

[@LotusGeorge]

:)

[@javierrm9752]

i think San José del Pacifico is overrated because is the best option to many tourist to have an experience with mushrooms and weed... btw i heard from potheads that the land race weeds of Oaxaca are REALLY good... if you just care about the nature go to Pluma Hidalgo on the way to Santa Maria (Huatulco) search videos about there. On the way to San José you probably saw a house supposed to be of Maria Sabina the famous Mazatec healer who used magic mushrooms in her ceremonies, that is fake, her town is far from there and is called Huautla de Jimenez. 14:48 i'm afraid to tell you if you are strict vegetarian that tamales are made with pork lard in the masa...

[@LotusGeorge]

Thanks so much for your comment! Whoops didn't know that about the pork lard, thanks for letting me know :) When I travel I'm not that strikes, I like to be flexible to eat everywhere But appreciate your comment a lot! Yes San Jose was indeed a touristy place, I can imagine other places are more authentic

[@emanuelmorales1234]

There is tamales of mole wich are delicious , hope you had a good time in Oaxaca , if you guys are still in Oaxaca i could give you some recomendations , i'm a local. Your channel is amazing

[@LotusGeorge]

Oh we really want to try that as we LOVE mole. Thanks so much for your support! We are in Puerto Escondido now.. not sure if we will get back to Oaxaca otherwise we would have loved to meet you
