Volodorez de Papantla from Vera Cruz, Mexico
Volodorez de Papantla from Vera Cruz, Mexico
Voladores de Papantla are famous for their daring performances which take place high above the ground. The dance of the Voladores de Papantla has become characteristic of the Totonac culture of the state of Veracruz and represents part of Mexico’s national patrimony. The dance is not only remarkable for its uniqueness and preservation of ancient calendrical elements, but also because it has survived into modern times. This performance was at the Chihuahua Natural Trails at El Paso Museum of Archaeology grounds in 2013.
