🇲🇽Ecatepec in Estado de Mexico is often described as one of, if not the MOST DANGEROUS places in Mexico. In an effort to improve accesibility to Mexico City for the locals and to improve their safety, the TELEFERICO MEXICABLE ECATEPEC was introduced in 2016, a Cable Car system travelling for 3 miles through 7 stations from Santa Clara to La Canada.
If you're looking for Things to Do in Mexico City that is very much off the beaten track, you can head to Santa Clara Mexicable Station by catching the subway to Indios Verdes and getting a bus from there. Alternatively, as I did, you can walk from Ciudad Azteca, but be warned, this can be known as a dangerous area.

50th video from Mexico! The Mexicable is a great example of how cities manage safety and accessbility. Have you been on the Mexicable? Spanish translation will come soon!
50 video de mexico El Mexicable es un gran ejemplo de cómo las ciudades gestionan la seguridad y la accesibilidad. ¿Has estado en el Mexicable? ¡La traducción al español vendrá pronto! 😉
¡MUCHAS GRACIAS a Laura, una de mis Patreons, por traducir el descargo de responsabilidad!
Great videos of the real mexico ! I’m Canadian and I travel to iztapala/neza for months sometimes. Same type of neighbourhood. Never had any problems with crime and never really felt in danger anywhere. Thanks again for showing the real cdmx ! I can show my friends now what it’s really like.
@@valdez96 what are you talking about the real Mexico; Iztapalapa is the same kind of hood but this video all the guy enserio did was ride the tram. He didn.t walk up los cerros de Ecatepec donde la Gente Reál viven??
Congrats, you are the only one blogger had show other side from México. Yes, Ecatepec is not a touristic area, but you found a new place to enjoy and discover. The Ecatepec locals as in others metropolitan areas are good people who just want to live in peace, work hard for their families and try to be better day after day, but the salary don't help too much, that situation is one of the reason the scenary is not like Polanco. You are great, get more fun in México. Abrazo.
gracias Gustavo! you're absolutely right about the people. I found them to be very pleasant, particularly older women, just like everywhere in Mexico. The people in Medellin were similar, they work hard and just want things to be better. Hopefully this will encourage more people to visit and spend their money there. The donuts in La Canada were amazing ;-)
@@davidostrowski679 Excellent you liked donuts there, and and it would be my pleasure to invite you to eat a PASTE here, in Ecatepec, Plaza Aragon next week if you want.
..we also show Mexico as it really is..
Not many tourists and even less vloggers risk going out to the rough areas of the metropolitan area. Although I appreciate you showing the "other side" of Mexico, please be safe, take care and try to go with some friends to help in case of need.
Once again, wonderful job. . . I can not tell you how many thousands of videos I have watched since 2005, but I can tell you that very few people who make videos “youtubers” use their brains.
i grew up in ecatepec in the 70s and 80s it was a peaceful area. i always took the buses everywhere and never felt unsafe. i would go to mexico city when i was 15 years old and use the metro never worried about being robbed or attacked.
Wow, David! Another fabulous video. I had no idea this even existed. I always know I’m going to walk away from a David video with a lot to think about. Thanks for always being real.
Hey Erin! I didn't know it existed until a week ago either! LOL
That is where they have the best parties! 😁
Thank you for this little-known view of Mexico City. Even though I’ve lived here most of my life and knew about the cable car system, I’ve never been on it. It takes a foreign visitor to show it to us! Thanks again!
Estado de México, please
Glad you posted this, my dad’s side of the family is from there and I’ve always wanted to see what it looked like
Primera vez que me entero de que hay teleferico en CDMX 😲 ningun youtuber a grabado en esa zona Gracias DAVID 😊
De nada susy! Gracias!
Susy Otaku déjame decirte que no es cdmx. Es una ciudad del edo de México. Me sorprende que no sepan geografía
Daniel Dan En el segundo 0:53 dijo por qué le hiba a llamar CDMX.
Obvio David es chingon muy chingon y muestra la vida cotidiana de los diferentes estratos sociales de la sociedad mexicana
Ecatepec no es una ciudad, es un distrito llamado municipio, o delegacion...me sorprende que mas bien no sepas tu de urbanismo
It's a really nice video... I lived in Ciudad Neza as a child, it is also categorized as a dangerous place, but I've seen images of how much it's changed since I lived there... I get your point, even though there is a higher risk of bad things happening in these places, I believe that fear only makes everything worse, and good people like you, are the ones who little by little, make things change for the better. Hopefully this video is a seed for that change.
Hey! That was exactly the point of the video, similar to the Medellín video a few months ago. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That's where my grandma is from! Really great food there, just be careful at night. Most people stay inside at night. Ecatepec is under developed, and lacks government control is what I've heard. Like many parts of Mexico, sadly. Glad you managed to make an awesome video out of that visit, and I hope it helps bring exposure. Maybe that way money will be invested Rio make it a better pueblo:)
Invested *TO make it a better pueblo
Wow felicidades Ecatepec por su desarrollo se ven chidas las casistas poco a poco que las vayan pintando y se verán mejor que bien me da orgullo que barrios como Ecatepec vayan progresando
Holy crap, man. You are really venturing into the “hood!” First of all, respect! Few people ever do that. And as you saw, not only is it generally safe, but there is a certain beauty to a place like that-including the helter-skelter, “poorer” but otherwise unique infrastructure. And what’s great is that the Mexicans there are just as warm and welcoming as those elsewhere. But people don’t know because they never go there. Even the sketchy guy who followed you was probably just interested in what you were doing since he has probably never seen a tourist in his town. Thanks for pioneering outside cdmx proper, I hope more people do that in the future. Great video!
Exciting journey to the cable cars and back. I liked seeing both the abandonment and graffiti at street level and the awesome and colorful views. Yes, I did know there were cable cars somewhere in Mexico City. When I visited I asked a several people about them and they either didn't know about them or told me it was a too dangerous area. I didn't go to the cable cars but now I wish I had. And now I remember how I knew about the cable cars, it wasn't from a blogger or travel video but a documentary about water problem there.

Gracias chingon
que huevos para andar ahi caminando con tu camara amigo. Felicidades, solo que no vale la pena arriesgarse tanto. Bendiciones gracias por tu trabajo, te has ganado un seguidor mas!
Gracias Gerson! Sí, era arriesgado, pero me gusta ir a lugares así. Creo que muchos extranjeros tienen una idea equivocada sobre lugares como ese. También hice un video en Doctores. ¡Pronto habrá uno de Tepito!
@@davidostrowski679 Gracias por mostrar esta parte de México, orgullosamente de Ecatepec, no todos los Ecatepenses, somos malas personas, al contrario, la mayoría queremos mejorar nuestra calidad de vida, estudiando y trabajando.
Gran video! RUclipsrs que aportan contenido positivo...
Gracias pepe!
Love all the street art everywhere!!
I actually went there as well about 2 years ago, never made a blog from it, your video has encouraged me to go back and have a better look around
Who ever you are, thank you for visiting my hood and giving a positive view on it. I live in the US but I’ve always those streets corner to corner. So I know the dangers, the lack of resources but also the beauty in culture. It’s hard to explain people who can’t imagine how those streets look where I come from and how the place is. It’s grown so much since I last visited.
If any blogger wishes to visit Ecatepec. I would just recommend you wear you oldest most worn out set of clothes you don’t want to bring too much attention to yourself from petty thief’s.
I would also recommend not to take your best equipment, carry the lease amount of things possible, no jewelry or fancy accessories. And if your robbed at a restaurant or in Public see what the locals do and just give up your possessions. Police is basically useless In Ecatepec your safest bet is getting help from local shop owners. They despite petty thief’s.
You're welcome amigo! Great advice, I did exactly that (in Tepito too). Just think in absolute basic mode, don't take anything unnecessary (i just had 200 pesos in cash, no card), i film on my smashed up phone so not worth much and no jewellery!
Thank you. I am an American, and have visited my friends in Santa Clara many times, the first time in 1985. I have some very dear, close friends there. I appreciate the realistic view of Ecatepec. Of course, I am not naive about the risk and crime there. But I appreciate the nuanced view, and realistic first person, instead of the typical "alarmista" gringo view of a place most tourist don't go. Br the way, I have walked the streets in Santa Clara, and other places in Ecatepec, and have not yet had any problem, besides my pocket being picked on the Metro Subway (in CDMX). The only thing that irritated me, was your British pronunciation of Spanish. ha ha.
Haha thanks Richard, my Spanish is hit and miss, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's awful. I think in the US there's much more exposure to Spanish, not so much in the UK (I learnt German for 7 years), so it has never come naturally. Fortunately, this was about 9 months ago and over Christmas I purposely learnt how to pronounce the letter R in Spanish much better. It just doesn't exist in London English.I know what you mean about alarmista gringos! Again, in the UK, there isn't the same view of Mexico as in the US (probably due to the US proximity to Mexico), so it always makes me laugh how some Americans have been influenced by mainstream media. Thanks for watching!
Really wish I could've explored more in Ecatepec, My entire family is from there and said was dangerous; therefore i never spoke English there and always dressed with more beatup clothes and no jewelry.
In the end, it's home to many hardworking families which I greatly respect!
NEUROKILLER ya fue a Ecatepec. Si yo fuera ahí no tendría ningún problema porque me miró como ellos. Gracias por el vídeo porque tenía curiosidad de saber cómo era Ecatepec y si era peligroso.
Well done you! Have been enjoying your videos for some time and especially that you go places and do things the other bloggers dont. Just be sensible my dear and keep up the great work.
oops I accidently disliked your comment sorry! I've changed it! Thanks for the concern and thanks for watching! I've spent a lot of time in Rio de Janeiro and lived in Medellin for 3 months plus I used to live in a rough area of London (drugs, crime, stabbings on a daily basis) so I'm ok in these areas, usually!
Thanks to your video, that part of Mexico might have a chance at a better future as a result of some much needed publicity of its interesting aspects.
Thanks Leonardo, you're welcome, that was one of the points of the video I guess, to make people more aware of areas like this.
Muy buen documental Amigo David deberías de compartir en Facebook Para que muchos vean todas tus Actividades por México Saludos desde Ecatepec
Gracias amigo!
lol, you really dare to going some places, literally you walked my girlfriend's neighborhood, heroes de la independencia, and she got robbed 3 times already, lol and I got robbed once, so I wouldnt walk using my phone there, lol, I only go there in car, lol and I try to stay less in the street, lol, anyway congrats daredevil, lol
I'm too scared to walk in Coacalco as an obvious foreigner. Can't imagine how this guy was so calm talking into his camera in Ecatepec vlogging (solo?)
I admire your authenticity, David💖
Omg this is an ancient video! I was going to do an Ecatepec sequel last year but didn't get around to it unfortunately
Wow, anyone who visit Ecatepec for tourism deserve a big like. Thank you David.
gracias Oscar!
Guaw hace 15 años no voy a México tendré que visitar ecatepec estado de México gracias por visitar México eres una gran persona mis respetos para ti
Por tu bien,no lo hagas
Ecaterror, Ecateponk, Ecatebronx, Ecatepeor o Ecatepior.
Que otra acepción conocen de este municipio???
Aún así orgullosa de vivir ahí en mi infancia y adolescencia!!!
Ecatepunk
Awesome video 👍
I came here to the same place in the video back in June 2016. The teleférico ride for me was great, many buildings I saw had art painted on the building roofs. It brings me memories when I came here with my tía. :)
Thanks! I might be filming a sequel video there next month!
@@davidostrowski679 awesome! I’ll stay tuned :D
I worked in the construction of this 'teleférico' as supervisor. Two and a half years of work.
That zone is quite dangerous, 4 dead inhabitants and some assaulted coworkers was the red count. Gangs very dangerous (some with semiautomatic guns, one of them try to sell me an AK-47).
Looks are deceiving...
Hola Juan, interesting! The would 'beautify' came to mind, ie that's another reason it was built, to make the area more appealing
Great video David! And very admirable of you taking risks to show us more of the true mexico, i live in the US and trust me the news are all about mexico's problems but just in the recent days crazy people here sending bombs left and right. You cant even trust what you get in the mail this days. Also i have my kids in homeschool thankfully bcs we are so afraid of another shooting here in florida. Imagine that! Well take care and thanks again for your videos.
Hola Jose, Gracias! That's interesting, the US and UK are so negative about other countries but cannot address the issues on their own soil! Great stuff with home schooling! I've met a lot of families travelling together over the last couple of years, travel is the best education!
Aita!!! Para q vean que del otro lado también se CUCEN HABASS!!! . 🤭😆 ( O sea también , inseguro igual q en todas partes )
Wooow! I'm Mexican but I didn't know this side of the country existed. Thanks for this type of videos 💖
Thanks for making this video. I like seeing real everyday lives of people. When I travel to Mexico City, I want to walk around some of the non touristy places; but I need to be careful of course. I have some experience walking around sketchy places in the US.
You're welcome, I'm the same, I much prefer going to places like this
Thank you for your video! I am going to visit soon (family lives there) and I feel 100x better with your video. It's been years since I have gone!
You're welcome Emely! I can't believe people still watch this, it was like 4 years ago! LOL
Haha🤣 RUclips is forever .
I’m not sure how it is to live in Ecatepec but it LOOKS absolutely charming.
Mi país 🇲🇽
What a great video man thanks
Thanks man hoping to film a 3 years later sequel in early Aug
@@davidostrowski679 nice man I am in Mexico City right now haha

When did you filmed this ? You just past by the corner of my house, wtf it even felt weird seeing it on RUclips haha
Crazy! It was pretty much just after the date of the video, October I think?
Excelente vídeo. Yo vivo en San Andrés, conozco las zonas por las que caminaste desde cd Azteca, claro que conlleva un grado de peligro, y más si eres extranjero, pero por experiencia puedo decir que es un lugar tranquilo, sólo se debe de tener cuidado y estar alarte. Saludos desde Ecatepec
Ecatepec tiene muchas cosas buenas desgraciadamente las opaca la delincuencia dato interesante sabían que Ecatepec es el municipio con más infraestructura en todo el pais y la segunda ciudad más rica del estado de México casi por destronar a Toluca
I use to live in Ecatepec for 14 years. Last time i was there was 2001
Wow, I bet it's changed a lot since then!
Last time I was there was last year. Went to my old neighborhood (Calle Paricutín) and reunited with some of my neighbors who haven’t seen me since I was 7
Yo no cambio mi Monterrey Nuevo León
Some Mexicans may thankyou for making a video on the Mexicable. However, please remember that when the locals suggest you not to visit or do certain stuff, it may be better to listen to them. First, because of your safety; most mexicans would not like to know that something bad happened to you. Second, because the "good" a video of the Mexicable may do, cannot be compared to the harm a video on "I got robbed, carjacked, etc in Mexico" would translate to. Mexicans are working hard on trying to solve many of the country's security problems and have achieved certain success with loads of places worth visiting and that will give you a good example on what living in Mexico is like, culture, tradition, etc. Please don't risk yourself... it's not worthy.
Hey Hermann! If I had got mugged or robbed I wouldn't have posted it. No one advised me not to go there beforehand as I didn't tell anyone, or even mention it on Instagram. I've been to favelas in Rio and spent a lot of time in 'bad' areas of Medellin so I know how to handle myself, but thanks for the concern!
muy bien video!!!! gracias para esta!!! Soy un x residente de la cdmx nunca entramos en esta zona! very good video! thanks! I am an X resident of CDMX we never go into this area!
Ecatepec uno de los municipios más poblados del Estado de México donde la mayoría de sus pobladores son de los Estados de la República mexicana que llegaron a terrenos irregulares sin los mínimos servicios.
Algo que me impresiona es los contrastes de ecatepec plaza Aragón llena de gente vez gente comprando divirtiéndose coches del año y por otro lado gente que carece de servicios
Francisco Javier T Gonzalez Sí son de los estados generalmente (incluyendo el DF), pero no todos los terrenos eran irregulares. No todos los habitantes de Ecatepec son pobres tampoco y hay poblados que tienen siglos de existencia como San Pedro y santa Clara. En general, las condiciones han mejorado mucho en los últimos 30-40 años.
Well for be honest, actually if it was a reckless decision, I will not lie to you, Ecatepec de Morelos in Estado de Mexico (metropolitan area of Mexico City) is one of the dangerous of Mexico, but gladly you are ok, and so good if you enjoyed the trip by the cableway.
The coolest places in Ecatepec are moved around the cycle path of eje central, the comercial area of Las Americas and the Ehecatl park.
But the coolest and safest places in the metropolitan area of Mexico City (if you want to visit) are: ciudad satelite in naucalpan de juarez, interlomas in huixquilucan de degollado (close of santa fe) cosmopol in coacalco de berriozabal, some places in atizapan de zaragoza or cuautitlan izcalli (take the tren suburbano in estacion buena vista) and Tepotzotlan; also the metropolitan area have the mexibus brt system (just like metrobus)...however take account the recommendations of the locals...be safe.
Thank you David for showing us that part of CdMx... I think that you pass very well your message. You're a London-boy and commonly they show us the best part of that great, wealthy world's capital... but, as a inhabitant of those great cities, you know thata they also have those places considered by many like non-for tourists, but that at the end they of course have their "local charm". I mean, your message is very clear: be caferful, be consciuous, be smart, be responsible... but not pre-judge and enjoy! Thank you again for loving so mucho this city and show real things to world... I can see that this city is also giving you something special. Good luck! We will miss you!
Gracias Jose! Mexico City is my home now!!! I will be sad to leave soon, I go to Taxco then to Puerto Vallarta but just because I want a change of scenery!!!
@@davidostrowski679 I will continue following you through your videos! Good luck!
Need to check that station and the area. ❤️
Remake coming soon
You are very brave to vlog in that place. It is not a joke that it is the most dangerous municipality in the country.
Wow! Thank you for documenting this. My wife and I did a CDMX to Teotihuacan uber and passed under these. I was so curious as to where they went. Now I know. Now I want to do this. Good job my friend. Patron link? I'll back you.
No worries man. I'd deffo recommend it, just be careful! My Patreon link is my video descriptions, but just so you are aware I stopping regular uploads at the end of March, turning this into a blog and doing more on Instagram/Patreon. I am also getting into writing and photography so RUclips is being cut (it's been 4 years!)
WOW! As I noted after you posted your Instagram photos - thank you so much for showing something that is not commonly referred to on RUclips or in CDMX guides. I really want to go for a ride. It is too bad they did not connect the cable car to a metro station. You mentioned bus options - did you notice if it is possible to take a taxi or uber to the Santa Clara cable car station? There is no way I would walk. I know you are younger, more adventurous and travelling solo - but you should be very careful - especially about areas, like depicted in the video, that are not busy. But what a great view! Lucky that you got a nice clear day. Thanks!
Thank you so much man. You don't understand the happiness and joy you brought into my life with this video. I am now 25 living in Colorado but i left my hometown in 2001 when i was only 7. I'm however not from ecatepec, i was raised in Huixquilucan. But this is so similar (except for the teliferico) that i can only imagine my hometown to look similiar. Migrating gave me some many opportunities i could never imagine but its now almost 20 years away from family and my birthplace. I wholeheartedly appreciate your enthusiasm for such a great country.
Awersome Ricardo! Amazing story, glad the video could have an effect!
I never knew about these Mexi-cables in Ecatepec so this is interesting. I grew up there until I moved to California in the early ‘90’s.
Very good! I actually have never heard of this cable car,saw it on Atlas Obscura, Keep up the good work.
Dude, I was there as well!! Actually it was a year ago this coming Saturday I rode the MexiCable. I dropped anchor at the La Canada Station and walked around.
I played a little basketball with the locals and watched a bunch of kids play soccer
Plus there was a marketplace there that I explored. It didn't feel unsafe at all which somewhat surprised me.
But thanks for posting this vid. My impression was that when you're in Mexico City it's so modern that it's almost like being in a very Mexican dominated American city. Almost.
But when you go to places like Ecatepec you know you're in Mexico.
I know you probably went to the pyramids as well so I'll look for that video also.
Yep you mean Teotihuacan? Check out the playlist, there's about 150 Mexico videos from the last few years including random states (from this year) like Durango and Coahuila! Proper Mexico!
@@davidostrowski679 Yes Teotihuacan! I'll look for that vid. But yes you are so right about Santa Clara. When I was there I was the only tourist I saw.
Ni yo voy a Ecatepec porque me da miedo y un extranjero sí jaja
lol at the dog drinking from the fountain
LOL someone noticed!
Finally i can see your Ecatepec video! haha, as I said you were brave walking those neighborhoods, but i think the hours you choose to make that walk helps, about tourist I think definitelly your are the first one in many time (if not of all time) even with many foreigners living in Ecatepec, at least here in my neighborhood are many Cubans, Haitians and Venezuelans
Buen video. 👏👏👏 Saludos!..!!
Gracias Antonio!
My great english friend i admire you so much Bealeve me you are a new ambassador spoke person for Mexico like the rest of americans, and canadaians who thru their videos show the world that Mexico City can be enjoyed by been start in the things you do like you would in any other megacity in the world
El mexicable viene ayudar a transportar a mucha gente que trabaja . Y en Ecatepec también hay muchas personas buenas ... Hay que mencionar que si se viven cosas desagradables, pero somos un México Unido.
Thanks for sharing this video David. 😊
Me suscribo a tu canal ya que eres el único youtuber que se atreve a grabar y meterse a estos lugares que también es México tú muy bien
¡ Gracias por mirar!
David, very good video, you are the best. 😄
Thanks Jenny!
Enjoy the video, thank you David.
Thanks Yvonne, I hope you're well!
Very good video. 👍
Why ecatepec and not iztapalapa?
I might be going to iztapalapa in March, someone else mentioned to so thanks for mentioning it. I am in San Luis Potosi this month but back in CDMX early March. I'll do some research!
Awesome video, David. I can attest all of Ecatepec is not dangerous, but it is a huge city so I might just be speaking for the part my parents live in. Do you know that Ecatepec, bad parts included, has murder rates lower than the municipalities of Cuauhtémoc (where the zócalo is) and Gustavo A Madero (where the basilica is)? There seems to be an obsession in the media with presenting Ecatepec as one of the worst municipalities in the country, but clearly that is not the case by any metric. Ecatepec is also the second largest city in all Mexico, but at this point I think it is a delusion to consider that cdmx and the surrounding cities are different urban areas. I must say though, that because of its industrial past, Ecatepec is kind of boring. There are still a lot of big factories, but no nightlife or cultural activity. That might change in the future, or not, but the living conditions have improved over time.
GREAT GRETINGS. AMIGO 👍👍👍
The TAO of DAVID~~~Great Video you ROCK my Man i like the journey i had visited Medellin in 2016 and is just some identical up Ecatepecc/TELEFERICO i was born in Mexico City but many decades in USA as is my country as well i did not know about the TELEFERICO tendre que visitar Bello Ecatepec Saludos Exito The Tao David eres estupendo amigo welcome a tu casa es Mexico.
Gracias Amigo!
I just got done watching the video. I really enjoyed it, especially because you dared to go to a place that isn't tourist friendly or rather tourist impacted. Thank for showing us this area. Keep up the great work. Please stay safe.
thanks man!
Yours has to be the first foreign travel video from Ecatepec! Did you feel more or less “safe” than Medellín?
I was in Ecatepec in the 70’s when I was in primary school to visit the site where Morelos (Independence hero) was executed by the Spanish. It was not more than a bus stop then on your way to see the pirámides, very few people lived there then.
I didn't really feel any different to Medellin, I guess it's more about your behaviour and attitude that makes the difference!
Great video my friend.
Wow you're a daring person, thanks for showing us this part of the CdMx, loved the graffiti art! You rock.
Thanks again Alexandra!!
I'm heading to your IG to look at your videos now!
Thank you for this wonderful video and thank you for taking the risk yo go there
you're welcome Yuri!
Nuevo suscriptor por que visitaste ecatepoc eres una maravilla suerte y los mejores éxitos para tu canal
Great video David. I have family who live there and travel there often. Is it dangerous? Yes it can be, but like you said in many of your videos, use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. I have not travel to Ecatepec, yet, mainly bacause my home in Mexico City is in Coyoacan and travel time can be rough, especially with 3 little ones. Just want to say Awesome video, love your comments and points of view. And yes, be careful and take care mi amigo. Have a great weelend. SAaludos desde Tijuana (talk about dangerous places).
Gracias Alejandro! Great points! I know what you mean, travel from Coyoacan would be tough even just on your own! Have a great weekend too!
I´m working on a documentary about a cultural project in the State of Mexico, is there a way that I can use some of your footage as Broll? I'll give you credit off course
hey sure no problem

The first time one of my friends visited ecatepec for a school, she got robbed, her car, phone, wallet and laptob were gone
David, Dude - I was there as a tourist as well - people took me like an "alien" - Did you experience the same :D
A little bit, yes!
This guy has balls. I'm from Ecatepec and I haven't been to La Cañada.
Cuantas personas caben en cada canasta?
Nice vídeo brother thank you for showing the geto
de nada Javier!
En Venezuela también hay "Metro Cable" desde hace años.✌
Para los que no conocen,no es un lugar seguro a ninguna hora!
Beautiful video thank u for sharing.
I have family there and I visited. I went there just fine and I blended in well because well, I speak spanish. My relatives say to not speak english for many reasons. But I didn't see anything wrong in Ecatepec. I have heard bad stories though
Tight video we should have those cable cars here in the USA we need them
chale que pena es la parte de mi mexico que me da verguenza es una zona peligrosa pero nimodo buen video
Tu das más pena .vives allí !! Y te cambias de Nombre . 🤫🤦🏻♀️😆
How lucky they did not steal your cell phone
If anyone tried they would be on the floor in seconds trust me
Qué valor de ir a Ecatepec a grabar siendo extranjero, yo que soy mexicano no me atrevo a ir a esos lugares
De hecho, muchas personas han dicho lo mismo. ¡Gracias por ver!
¡Haaaay tu mana! Hay lugares asi en todos los países mira:

Very cool!, I been few times there I thibk so but never via Mexicable!, but I took a similar one obce when I was almost missing my fly from the termial of the airport to the other!, so personal of the told airport told me in that case we can take that cable for free with your airplane ticket and that bring you to one termial to the other for free in a very fun and quick way!!, it was really cool!Now you know if you went by mistake to the wrong terminal in the airport to take your flight, just ask for this way to go to the right terminal 😉 😊
Nice! Finally someone showing the rough side of Mexico. Have you done cd neza and tepito??
Hey not yet, i might check out tepito
Thank you, David, for that glimpse into Ecatepec! It does look similar to Medellin! Eres loco wuey! Lol! De verdad, ten cuidado! Imagino que nunca iré allá!
