Xochimilco: Dance Los Voladores of Papantla. An Awe-Inspiring tradition in Mexico City.

The Voladores de Papantla belong to the Totonac indigenous group, hailing from the regions of Papantla in Veracruz and other parts of central Mexico. In case you have never witnessed this incredible spectacle, five men climb a 90-foot-tall (or taller) pole. Four of them tie a rope around their waist and throw themselves headfirst into the void with their arms wide open, spinning around the pole. Meanwhile, the fifth member remains at the top and plays music with handmade wooden instruments. But there's more to this ritual than just daring acrobatics.
