Mexico Through the Eyes of a Visitor: A Kaleidoscope of Life and Culture

In Mexico beats multiple hearts that never ceases to amaze. From Mexico City to Quintana Roo, this visual feature story aims to take you on an immersive journey through unique sights and simple moments. It showcases just an inkling of the energy and spirit of life in Mexico.

These film photos communicate the rhythmic pulse of city life and transport the viewer to turquoise cenote waters.

It’s no surprise to any local that Mexico is a country of many realities, and I hope I’ve been able to share some of that spirit.

I think so @vayb .You have made posible for all of us in Local Guides Connect to learn and understand a little bit more the complex reality of Mexico as a country.what about music,so,mariachis,boleros,etc…?.

Beautiful, @vayb . Nothing captures a vibe like film. I hope more people realize the lack of emotion/feeling we’ve grown accustomed to with cell phone pictures and take up analog photography again. Thank you for sharing your images.

The pictures and moments in Mexico that you captured are so amazing!

Thanks for sharing a great first post.

Visiting Mexico is one in my travel list as well. I’m sure I’m gonna love the foods because I love taco, nacho, burrito, and many more. The delicious taco that is “nearest” to Mexico that I’ve tried was in LA :joy: I love it!

@LaloPadilla @LightRich You guys need to read this post :smile:

Thanks for sharing your film photos @vayb , they’re great and you captured Mexico in a really unique way, I can see that you really liked to take photos near “Bellas Artes” and you even saw a quinceañera (a girl that turns 15 years old) with her dress. I wanna know your opinion about mexican coke, is it sweeter?

@Velvel Thanks for the tag, if you visit Mexico you will enjoy a lot our food and all the amazing places!

*"*a girl that turns 15 years old" with her dress?

The story seems so interesting!

Could you tell a brief story about quinceañera? @LaloPadilla :blush:

Sure @Velvel

In spanish 15 is “quince” and year is “año” so that’s the root of the word “Quinceañera” so it is a girl that turns 15 years old, it’s a big moment in her life , here in Mexico usually quinceañeras have two options as a gift from their parents: a big party wearing a dress or a trip with her friends, usually to Europe.

When quinceañeras choose the party they have a photoshoot in studio and some iconic places in their cities to be displayed at the party, in the US there is something similar called “Sweet Sixteen”

Thanks for sharing @LaloPadilla

Oh… That’s surely a memorable and beautiful moment with fancy gifts as well :heart_eyes:

I see… It’s like sweet sixteen in the US, and sweet seventeen in my country. I still remembered when I turned 17 years old, I celebrated it in a restaurant with my beloved family and friends.

Is 15 years old the minimal age to get a driver license in Mexico?

Thanks everyone! :heart: feel free to follow me on ig @ vaybawa and @ vaysplace :camera_flash:
