Looks like a beautiful place, but The government may need to step in and fine the beverage companies for all the junk that ends up in the river, it would help protect all the wildlife and make Zumidero more attractive to tourists.
I lived in Chihuahua for 3 years and it changed my perspective on Mexico massively!! It felt like a 1st world country in all honesty, i had everything i needed and luxuries i didnt imagine they had down there... Never been To Sumidero, looks breathtaking!!!
Definitely for us traveling around Mexico has drastically changed our preconceived view on the country. So glad we had 7 weeks there and wish we had more!
Really, was your idea of Mexico what you just saw in American movies. They have the same things they have in the United States. Did you know the Mexico was the first country outside the United States to have skyscrapers or that the color TV was invented in Mexico. Its just weird to see that people are surprised when they visit Mexico and they expect the country to be like 200 years behind everybody else.
And tbh Chihuahua is not even considered that beautiful or attractive to the rest of the country. You know this, you lived there. Every part is beautiful and worth it but the soul is at the center and south. The north lives with a inferiority complex mindset with usa.
@@erikcastillo2454 I think youre speaking from your biased southern rivalry towards the North of Mexico. Its normal it happens in the US as well... Ive been all over Mexico and Chihuahua is as awesome as other beautiful mexican states. Did you ever go to the Taraumarah sierra? Breathtaking, Pakime ruins? Awesome history, Majalca forest close to Chihuahua city? Gorgeous, Samayaluca dunes? Sublime!! I really fell in love with Chihuahua as you can see lol.
@@thomandjess Exactly! Same happened to me, its so refreshing when your own eyes and experience change your pre conception of something you thought... May we keep traveling and enjoying awesome places, Cheers.
Hi! What you're doing with the recent bought tortillas and eating outside like that is a thing already, and we called it: taco placero. Cause it's a taco outside but not camping, like in a plaza, which is exactly where you are lol. Allow me to suggest two stars of those tacos: 15 pesos de chicharrón and 15 pesos de queso doble crema. Congrats on discovering México, btw as you can see there isn't such a thing like one México, it's more like a mosaic. Enjoy!!
As a Mexican I still haven’t had the pleasure to visit Chiapas, it’s actually the only southern state left in my bucket list and this video made me want to be there ASAP!!
Dearest Thom & Jess… as a Mexican that has attempted to be vegan I want both to praise you for finding frijoles en bolsa but also I want to free you from them haha. There are many vegan options in Mexico that are not labeled vegan (as they were part of our ancient cuisine so they pre-date the term haha). These are delicious and relatively available in most towns. - Street stand selling quesadilllas: you can order a “quesadilla sin queso” filled with either “huitlacoche”, “quelites”, “flor de calabaza” or “rajas”. Ask for vegetable fillings as depending on the stand they could have others: “Que rellenos tiene de verdura?” - Same stand ask if they have: sopes or tlacoyos. If they do, order one “sin queso y sin crema”. Tlacoyos are filled with either beans, faba or cheese. So you can order a tlacoyo de frijol or de haba. - if they ask you if you want it with “nopales” say yes haha… it is a super healthy cactus that we eat. - If the stand sells “huaraches” you can also order one with beans and nopales… sin queso y sin crema. - another vegan dish is Chilaquiles (again sin pollo, sin queso and sin crema) - We have some very good soups that most places sell: sopa de hongos, sopa de verduras, sopa de lentejas. - Try esquites: sold in street stands usually placed in a public square in the afternoon/night. Order it without cheese & mayo but say yes to Limón and chile to being added to it. - Tamales are also another option: you can find them sometimes at Oxxos but early mornings and early nights you would usually find a stand selling them. There are different fillings: sweet ones (dulces) dont have any meat. Some savory ones are sometimes filled with vegetables or beans although not as available as “dulces”. - in most tianguis (street markets) there are food stands selling guacamole and nopales already cooked. I’d definitely buy some whenever you spot a tianguis. I hope you find the list helpful and that you enjoy the flavors we have and that are relatively available almost everywhere in Mexico (especially in the centre and south of the country) Buen provecho!!! And enjoy Mexico!

@@thomandjess I am glad you saw it and that it inspired you to try it!!! Something not very known is that our ancestral culture in central & south of Mexico didn’t rely on meat - pork & beef were brought by the Spaniards - so our ancestors were actually vegan or they ate fish or poultry every now and then as meat was only for special occasions. That’s why there are so many highly nutritious options that are actually vegan. In fact I just remembered other very easy to find, affordable & super healthy options that I forgot to mention. In Mexico we have a grain/seed called amaranth (amaranto) that is packed with nutrients and can be easily purchased on the streets (usually sold by someone walking the streets with large bags or a basket of candies. If you see someone like that ask if they have “alegrías” (amaranth bars with raisins and peanuts). Google: alegrias de amaranto and you will see how they look like so you can spot them. Around bus stops, traditional food markets or outside of churches you may see someone roasting something: they are usually roasting seeds (pumpkinseeds are the most common ones). You can also find both amaranth, amaranth bars and seeds in supermarkets or in nutritional stores (tienda nutricionista). These kind of stores are everywhere so if you Google “tienda nutricionista” I am sure you will have one a few blocks away. In every southern or central state there are local green leafs that are highly integrated to the dishes of the place. The names and options vary from state to state but they are genetically known as “quelites”…. Some of the names are: berros, verdolagas, spinach, chaya, chiltepin, acelga. Most traditional eateries use them to cook main dishes or as fillings for quesadillas. Most traditional restaurants known as “fondas” selling “comida corrida” for lunch may also have certain dishes that are vegetarian (mind that they do have cheese): tortas de papa, Chile relleno de queso. calabacitas a la mexicana, peneques. Most of what I described here is usually sold at every traditional market of every town. Visit one near lunch time and I bet you will find many stands selling amaranth bars, fondas selling one of these dishes, quesadilla stands selling quesadillas with one of these fillings or even packs of a dozen tlacoyos filled with beans or fava ready to go haha. Pro tip to spot which street food stand sells what: if there are women in it, they sell quesadillas, tlacoyos, huaraches. If there’s only men there: most likely the sell tacos or tortas haha. Happy meals & happy travels!!
Papas con Chile 😅 kokacola es very bad for the native americas (mayas) they are addicted to that but the worts they are not friendly with the ecosystem
@@thomandjessbut that's is long in the past. Highly sugared beverages are heavily taxed but any addiction is hard. Sugar addiction is an epydemy of great costs for health care systems all over the world. An additional problem is the fact that a good taco has to come with a cold glass coke.
Lovely video ❤

So great. Makes me want to go to Mexico 🎉

We loved Chiapas and were blow away by the beauty & the kindness of the people!! We’re posting a video all about San Cristobal De Las Casas soon 😄
I know 26 out 32 states and Chiapas is the best. Breathtaking nature and culture with a special vive in the air. mystical and magical

About the question ... the answer is ... the inability to know something beyond the media or ... even worse ... believe in the media
Fully disappointed I totally expected actual guacamole to come squirting out that avocado hole!
i was thinking the same thing😂 Guac is life
@@edas1315guac is like to prepare a cocktail, not as easy as it looks if you want to make it right
Papas con Chile 😅 kokacola es very bad for the native americas (mayas) they are addicted to that but the worts they are not friendly with the ecosystem
Hahaha we love papas con chile. Yes it is sad to see. Even at one stage Coca-Cola was less expensive than water making it even more accessible.
