Xcaret Park - Flying Men (Voladores de Papantla) - Riviera Maya - Mexico

A very interesting ceremony to see if you go to the Xcaret Park!
This custom of Mesoamerican origin expresses respect for nature and the spiritual universe. During the ceremony, four Voladores de Papantla (flyers) climb a pole while one more flyer remains sitting on the edge of the platform, while playing with a flute and drum melodies in honor of the sun, the four winds and the cardinal points. After this act of invocation, the dancers launch themselves from the platform to which they are tied by long ropes, imitating the flight of birds and drop down to the ground.

Wow! That was amazing, they did it with such ease too. Their costumes are very nice. So dangerous and they don't seem at all worried. The pinwheel they do afterwards is cool too, but the swinging from the top all the way down head first, yikes! Nice video, thumbs up! Thank you! :)
