¡Viva México!
Alright let's be honest - Mexico gets a lot of hate. Especially in regard to American news stations, and I'm not quite sure why!
Our friendly neighbors to the South are just AMAZING in every way possible - from the hospitality to the nature to the cuisine. I put together this full-length documentary about Mexico which highlights my most recent trip there - from Mexico City to Oaxaca to Chiapas to Guadalajara to Taxco to Tequila and everything in between. After watching this documentary, I hope you will be convinced that Mexico is one of the greatest countries in the world!
I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments below - what are your favorite places and regions in the country? Please comment below!

What are your favorite places in Mexico?! Please comment them here so we can all benefit and learn about the best places to go!! 🇲🇽
Hi drew, since I live in it, I choose Tijuana. Would love to see you there.... (but fair warning it's the most dangerous city in the world according to many articles and USA would warn others into entering it. Please go with a friend for safety and if you really don't wanna be captured by cartels limit your stay for about 5 days to a week on ordinary.)
But it's up to you. If you do come I'll meet you there
Just realized this is an hour and a half. definitely going to watch the whole thing
¡Chiapas!
I’m from Puebla you should definitely visit some day.
my mom is from ensenada its a more coastal older tijuana filled with mexican sea food but guanajuato for sure is one of the best places you can possibly visit
I have been more than 25 times to Mexico, and I'm not even from the Americas. My favorite country in the World, definitely.
7 more and you have a visit for each Mexican state
Thank you!
@@phaerion9142he should not go to Tamaulipas or Michoacán

I love Mexican people, culture and everything. I've been to Cancun last year and it was amazing. I will go back to Mexico with my upgraded Espanol.
Go to a more rural part. Cancun doesn’t give u the full reality and authenticity
Cancún is not even close to what México really is. True México is in the center of the country.
@@ocielmartinez2129 But why necessarily to a rural part? most people when going to the States, Japan, France don´t go o the rural areas . The true essence of Mexico is their diversity beaches, big cities, old towns, ranchos, colonial cities, modern districts, landscapes.
You can go to visit any place, in any state you will find cultural, architectural tours, social and natural experiences, etc., whichever you choose will be excellent!!! Always take your precautions as in every country for the typical thieves and scammers.
Greetings and hugs from Mexico City!! 😃🇲🇽🇰🇷🙏🏻😎
@@ocielmartinez2129 that is my goal, to visit the small towns and villages, thats where the magic is.

My girlfriend and I just went to Mexico City. I've been to Europe, Asia, and all over the US and Canada, and I could honestly say that Mexico City was one of the best if not the best city I've ever been to. DEFINITELY the best food.

Nice! Sa doit etre le paradi sure terre, j'aimerai i aller un jours, surtout dans les petits village, vraiment beau pays et les gens semle tres sympatique.
I feel much safer in Cancun than when I was in the USA. In fact I learned where I should not go and what not to do.
Don't attack Poblanos, Lol just kiding.
I spent 6 months in Mexico from September 2021 to march 2022 all over the country from chihuahua to Durango to San Luis potosi to Guadalajara, Mexico city, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Yucatan and loads more... Never had any safety concerns, people were friendly. I'm a Brit to and my Spanish isn't perfect but if you show you are trying to learn you are treated warmly.
Viva la Mexico
hey buddy, you we dont use "la" or "el" refering to a country you can say "viva Mexico" it is more properly

Visit Culiacan 🥶
Go straight to Guadalajara, we have the Miguel Hidalgo international airport, I suggest a stay at Portobello Hotel, wonderful and beautiful, and located perfectly at the corner of Avenida Juarez y Calzada del Federalismo, everything is accessible from there,an entrance to the train (underground) LN 2 station is exactly outside on Federalismo 😊
I've been to Mexico a bunch of times and I haven't had a bad experience to date. I'm from Latvia, born and raised, but I've lived all over Europe and the Americas. My father is Spanish-Cuban so alongside Russian and English, Spanish was a language spoken to me from little, so whenever I'm in Mexico I have no issue communicating with people and I feel so connected. It's such a beautiful country filled with beautiful people and delicious foods

Just been to Mexico, the best thing about the country is it’s people. Very honest and welcoming, even though I had a language barrier but people came forward to help in every way they could.
One of the best country I have ever been to.
Long live Mexico and its people
I couldn't agree more. I went to Mexico City, for a week, 2 years ago. I LOVED it. The people were SO nice. Living in Florida, we have a lot of Mexicans and they are always so nice and polite. Mexico is such a great country with wonderful people (and food, music, architecture, culture, etc, etc).

I totally agree that our beautiful neighbors to the south have a wonderful, diverse and immensely beautiful cultural history. It’s safe. They are such amazing people.

OMG THAT SHTHOLE
I love Mexico, and while I am not Mexican, my partner is Mexican. On the other end, I am Italian, and our cultures are super similar. I feel like looking at what we have in common is vital, and I have been to Mexico... It is so beautiful!!! People are so warm and nice, super funny and love to dance, drink, and pray. TBH the food of Mexico is the best, too (I say this as an Italian).
It's interesting you say that. I am from the US of Mexican descent (1st generation American) and I've always noticed the similarities in Mexican/Latin American and Italian cultures. I've even personally met Italians who consider themselves Latino which I think is absolutely beautiful and heartwarming and honestly caught me by surprise.
The reason I say that is because in the US we're only really ever exposed to Italian-American people/culture and it isn't uncommon for some of them to react negatively to be mistaken for Latino. Not super common but I've unfortunately seen it myself firsthand. I of course understand that not all feel this way, just an observation.
we even have the same colours
I am from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and I watched the whole video and loved it. Mexico is definitely on my bucket-list of places to visit.
I am Mexican and i want a free West Papua
@@kocholawis1851 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽Same here.
I think too. Mexico is a country that has the best of both Spanish and American Continental cultures. Mexicans are the most cheerful and hospitable people in the world. No matter where I travel around the world, I meet countless Mexicans and feel the great influence Mexican people have on the world. It is a shame that the global media focuses so much on the negative aspects of Mexico. Every country has good and bad points. From here in Japan, I hope that the wonders of Mexico will be conveyed to more people. ¡Amo México!
Why are millions of Mexicans moving to the US? It cant be that great if so many locals want to leave.

This is so refreshing. I'm a New Yorker that studied abroad in Mexico. I absolutely loved it ❤️. Such a great experience & the diversity, people, food, architecture, history, museums, beautiful scenery. Don't believe the negative stuff you hear, Mexico is so much more than its border towns. Will absolutely move there when I'm retired.
feel honored that Drew (whom I respect and admire) took the time to explore Mexico and make this 1 hour 30 minutes documental inviting the world to visit my multiicultural and beautiful country.
Thank you Drew
It might be multicultural but there are things all Mexicans grow up with also Mexico is still a warzone no matter how we put it
I love MEXICO too my friend

@@Arthur_Morgan-f8p bro im mexican and my favorite country is India, some day I will visite tour country
@@johnferace2534 always welcome bro 🎉
@@jandafifakiddy702 There's a big difference between pride and veneration. It's totally fine to be proud of your country as long as it isn't in a nationalistic or mean spirited sense ("My country is the best, all others are trash" for example).
I myself am from the US but of Mexican descent from my parents. I'm proud of both being American and my Mexican heritage equally. I'm not one of those people who think the US is the best country on earth but it made me who I am today and I wouldn't trade that in for anything.
And to add to that, Mexico generally has a very negative reputation internationally (some of it justified unfortunately but way overblown). Ask the average Mexican living in Mexico and you will meet some of the happiest and content people anywhere. That dichotomy means that Mexicans will generally respond more vocally to positive, more accurate depictions of their country. It isn't all murders and narcos down there despite what the media will have you believe.
If you still don't understand then you're likely young or just being contrarian.
@@SmokeyChipOatley I wrote that comment a long time ago. I changed my opinion on this topic since then. I proud to be german myself.

@@salimboudjema6018He’s saying that being around such good people inspires him to be a better person. You have no idea who this man is, where he lives in Mexico, or anything else about him. No need to be a dipshit.
@@salimboudjema6018Don't be ignorant
I’ve lived in border states for almost 40 years and Mexicans are wonderful people. Mexicans mixed European and indigenous culture to create something brilliant just like Africans mixed with European culture to create something brilliant in the US. In general, they are creative, loyal, hard workers, family oriented and religious. The food, art and craftsmanship alone make it impossible to be bored in Mexico and I hope Americans continue to learn to love and appreciate our brilliant southern neighbors.
Overall Latin America is mixed. Mexico specifically has Indigenous, European ( mostly Spaniard and Portuguese) and African (3rd root) ancestry. Later on mexico open it’s doors to China, Korean and the Philippines. That is why Asians are considered our fourth root.
Not really as you think. Most of these Mexicans look indigenous and they're pretty much the basis of the country. Plus the European admixture is Spanish, not Portuguese.
With the difference that Spanish conquerers didn't commit the quantity of genocides and enslavery that English colonizers did it in their territories.
I'm saying this because many of our current representers don't care to lie or guilt Spanish people for most of the atrocities or acts of corruption that actually have happened after the independence war.
Being _"la leyenda negra española"_ or _"black legend against spanish"_ the main reason why we don't prosper and we have been the useful dumb for the USA government and other European countries.

I'm grateful that right after I flew back to the States you released this video about Mexico and showing how lovely the country really is. The people there are truly honest and welcoming compared to some of the many countries I've been to. Can't wait to go back again to explore more at some point to keep proving to people the hidden gems away from the coastal resorts. Much love Drew and appreciate the positive light you shine on countries the media tells us to avoid! ❤

Different traditions,gastronomy,different environments. But all Mexicans are proud to be Mexican. VIVA MEXICO!🇲🇽
Been in Mexico. Traveled around there with a Mexican friend. It was best time I ever had! Loved it! Food is amazing! People are fantastic, the culture is rich! Go to visit Mexico! ❤❤
When I was a child living in New Mexico, my family used to go to the border city of Juarez at least once a month. I just love Mexico. I still have on my bucket list to see the monarch butterfly forest and the national museum of anthropology. Now I live much farther away and going to Mexico is not as easy as it once was. I still plan to go back to that beautiful country.
Nice to hear that you'll like to visit those places. Just a few tips: Make sure to visit the butterfly sanctuary between jan and feb, is when all of them come out flying, and all the museums in Mexico City are free on sundays. You can easily visit the museum of Antropology and El Castillo de Chapultepec in one day 😊
Love from india (tamilnadu),
its one of the best engaging travel documentary i ever seen, thanks drew for showing us the hidden beauty of Mexico ,its absolutely heartwarming and fulfilled to see culture, thoughts, monuments,foods ,heritages and especially people's of mexico

Im from Monterrey. It is probably the most industrial city in Mexico. If you ever get to come here, try out the regional candy, try out “cabrito” (goat. It is what we are known for), and go hiking on the mountains.
That is why it is called Monterrey translating to “Mount king”. Im sure you will feel very proud of your heritage when you find out about St. Patricks batallion. They fought in monterrey

I'm from the UK and I went to Cancun on a holiday. Loved the people, food, culture and place. I was so sad to come back. I'll definitely go again for sure, this time experience it more with the locals
UK is a terrible place full of awful people
Cancun is not even close to the real México. You’ll have to go to the center of the country to experience the true México
@@LARCK8 ooo okay thanks. How about mexico City?
@@yaslynsahota yeah, i mean, if you want to experience the authentic Mexican culture and cuisine, you can visit: Cdmx (México city), Guadalajara (where I’m from) , Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Taxco, Zacatecas, Puebla , Tlaxcala.
Any of those cities I mentioned and you’ll get the true México.
Excuse my bad English, hope that makes sense. Greetings from México.
@@LARCK8 no worries. Your English is so good
Thank you for showing my country in a positive light ❤️🇲🇽. ¡Viva México!
Respectfully: How bad is the Cartel problem in Mexico?
@@solvingpolitics3172 Depends what state in Mexico you go to but for the most part they won’t mess with tourists.
@@solvingpolitics3172 What the guy said ⬆
Mexico es de puta madre - la gente, la lengua, la comida, la musica, historia y cultura - un pais perfecto para mi. saludos desde varsovia, polonia
Can't wait to travel through Mexico! American media has portrayed Mexico in such a negative light for decades. This includes spanish language US media. Thanks for showing us the real and authentic side of MX!
I'm proud to be Mexican! As a Mexican American born in the States and having my both parents born in Mexico, I am proud of my heritage and where I come from. Mexico is in my heart ❤ Te amo Mexico
If it wasn't for your parents you'll be born in Mexico so yeah
Thank you for making this Drew. I am an American living in California and I LOVE Mexico. I go whenever I can. Unfortunately, we get a lot of unjustified negative propaganda here in the states about Mexico. So much so that I know Mexicans living here who think Mexico is too dangerous to travel to. There are many places in the U.S. I would be much more cautious about visiting. My favorite places in Mexico are Coyoacan (Mexico City), Merida and a small town in the rainforest called Xilitla.
They don't want Americans leaving the country So they make other countries look like shit so Americans wont go
I just visited Mexico (from the US) for the first time and had a great time. Saw Queretaro, Bernal, San Miguel de Allende, and Monterrey. Queretaro and Bernal were nice, and Monterrey had stunning mountains, but San Miguel de Allende (though very touristy) is a magical place. A very special atmosphere.
You didn’t go to Guanajuato, Guanajuato on that trip?
SAludos desde Monterrey!
Greetings from the Mountain city, Monterrey!
I am indonesian and i have mexican friends from university. i was surprised to know that there are many similarities between mexico and indonesia . never been to mexico, but one day i will!! its an amazing country after all :D
I’m from Croatia and one of my life goals is to travel whole Mexico.Specially those tropical forests.❤🇭🇷🇲🇽
Mexico is my dream destination. It has everything, culture, food, landscapes and most of all lovely people. Every Mexicans I met were kind and so proud of their country. I can't wait to go there!🇲🇽 🤗❤
Untill the cartels get to you then you start singing a different song
@@davidscott3726 Dude, cartels don’t care about your existence, only if you are selling drugs. Do you like if I say:
don’t go to America or you will be murdered by a mass shooting near a school.
Lol, if you’re not related to crime you will be safe, while in America you can be killed by a random guy with easy access to guns.
And that’s just hypocrisy, because Americans complain about cartels but they look like zombies in the streets because fentanil and other drugs.
@@davidscott3726 nahh, only don't get into drugs, then you will be far from them (I live In mx)
@@davidscott3726 oh look an American.
And I will add, possesses such naturally attractive looking inhabitants.
As a women myself, I think that many of the women specifically, are so naturally good looking, that in all honesty, I think the world sometimes forgets, about the stunning peoples of Mexico!
I loved my precious time in Mexico & although I always planned to return, as yet I still haven't.
Take care & Peace.
I love Mexico!!! Oaxaca City is my favorite followed by Puerto Vallarta. Mexico is beautiful and the people are friendly and hardworking. ❤️❤️❤️ and I travel there alone…I’ve always felt safe.
This time last year I was in Oaxaca. The best food I’ve ever had and Mezcal is king! I loved it so much that I went again in November and enjoyed it even more the second time 😂 The culture, people and natural, rustic beauty of Mexico is unbelievably diverse and unparalleled.
Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hey Man! My parents are from Oaxaca, I go there at least once a year. Glad you loved it my brother. I would love to visit Canada one day, I just haven't gotten around to it
@Michelle estoy en guadalajara en 40 horas!
good video; noticed you mentioned you've visited every country and Mexico places in top 10. I recently listened to an interview of two women that together have visited all 204 (?) countries in the world. When asked their favorite country for food, one mentioned Italy and Mexico; and when asked their favorite OVERALL country, the other mentioned Thailand and Mexico - so yes, for those who really "Know the world" Mexico is always a top choice. Having lived in Mexico most of my life and visited 72 countries, I can EASILY say I wouldnt live anywhere else! VIVA MEXICO!!
Mexico - the World's Most Underrated Country.. Said no one, ever. People like it and go there for all time every time and again.
Hi Drew,
Im from the Philippines. Thanks to your fair documentary, I will someday visit Mexico...
Love the Philippines 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇭
your welcome in México any time
Thank you for showcasing my country in such a beautiful light! I just watched this entire thing and almost made me tear up. I left my home town of Aguascalientes 10 years ago and I live in Canada now, but looking back at Mexico now always give me such a warm feeling and it's so lovely to see it recognized for the wonderful country that it is. Thank you! Love your videos!
out of curiosity, why don’t you return? it’s so much better than canada/usa in my opinion.
My mom’s family is also from Aguascalientes and I visit twice a year. Awesome city with great weather!
@@Penuts911Probably economic opportunity. I hope to see the day where mexico can stop it's corruption so highly skilled people don't leave to other countries
@@jordannietos I understand but I hate to hear it :(
I loved puerto Vallarta. Went for a wedding and stayed at this amazing Airbnb (the host is Liz she’s the best), ate the best food, met the nicest people, got the best massage of my life and just had a great time!
The immense love that I have for this mystical land I've been blessed to be born in is hard to describe. My eyes get filled with tears just to think about Mexico's beauty. The land is so generous and mexicans have the biggest hearts (especially countryside people). I could go on and on for hours... In my mind, I see México as a beautiful and strong, humongous indigenous woman with her long shiny black hair, bearing the forces of nature in her skin. She wears astonishing hand-made clothes, and she emanates immense power and tenderness at the same time. I see her as a prolific mother, lovingly nurturing all her children with unconditional love. If I were to reincarnate, I would ask God to allow me to be Mexican time and time again.
I was born in Mexico but grew up in the US..I came back to Mexico and then I moved back. I missed my country so much I had to come back and here I am now. Viva Mexico!
I just came back from a 2 week trip from Mexico! I did Tulum, Mexico City and Puerto Escondido. I loved it and can't wait to go back! I miss all the tacos although I was craving veggies at the end of the trip. I was dreaming about broccoli and zucchini lol
Brocoli and zucchini (calabacitas) are very common here, but you dont find them in street food, its like go to a hot dog stand and expect some veggies, but mexican gastronomy is more than fast food (like tacos)
I definitely recommend the night tour in the Chacahua lagoon, near Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, it was an experience that changed my way of seeing the sky, I was amazed, they take you to the center of the lagoon that also has microorganisms that shine when shaken the water, apart from that, you will be able to appreciate the sky in total darkness without light pollution, you can even see the nebulous space and many stars, just try not to get too far from the boat as other boats pass by that take other tourists to do the same.
Greetings and hugs from Mexico City!!! ❤🇲🇽🙏🏻😇
I've spent a lot time in Mexico city and Michoacan. I fell in love with the country and experiencing the warm and welcoming people, especially in the smaller ranchos is amazing. But the city itself is also fantastic. Thanks Drew, for sharing your experience.
Just wanna make a lil' note.
The guys in white at 18:33 are not Mariachis, they're "Jarochos" performing what is known as the "Son Jarocho" which is different from Mariachi music.
It comes from the state of Veracruz. It uses string instruments such as the Requinto Jarocho, Jarana Jarocha and Arpa Jarocha as basics. It can include other instruments.
The music is often paired up with a set of dancers on a Tarima, a wooden block under which you stomp to create a rythm.
The song performed in the video is "La Bamba" which is by far the most popular example of Son Jarocho.
This is very condensed since there's a lot more than what I just said, neverthenless I believe it was important to make that distinction due to the music styles being very different.
I go to Mexico for several weeks every winter. I began going there for the sunshine and I go back for the people. I feel safer in Mexico than in the US. Mexico is one of my favourite countries to visit.
Have you experienced any of the festivals during the winter?
@@justsomeinternetguy560 Christmas!
@@gerardacronin334 I meant like, Las Posadas
This is not just a travel review channel....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
Hahahaha.
I genuinely love Mexico and its people from the bottom of my heart. My favourite place in the world. Flights got so freakin expensive in the last 3 years though, it's breaking my heart. I can't wait to come back.
Just got back from an awesome week in Mexico... 4th time in a year and I ALWAYS feel safe
¡VIVA LA MĖXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't think you know how proud I am of my irreplaceable country! And the fact that one of my favorite youtubers says it's the most underrated country in the world, I don't think you realize how happy that truly makes me.
It’s Not viva la haha
This is the best video I’ve seen on Mexico ! 🇲🇽 my favourite video of yours so far ! Well done 👏 you really showed the the real Mexicans and their culture and the best of their delicious food !! Brilliant
Tremendous country!. History, traditions, culture, architecture, art, gastronomy and natural beauties!. Too much to explore and discover.
Mexico has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas!!!!

Great video, Mexico looks lovely, would love to try some of the food there and see the Architecture! watching here first thing in the morning from New Zealand
Cordial salutations from Santiago de Chile, where I watched your video. I am from England and live in Santiago teaching English and happen to love Mexico too. Cheers dude
I'm so glad you enjoyed my country!
Saludos desde Querétaro.
Your channel continues to be my #1 favorite place to find travel videos that always inspire me and teach me life lessons. I am always in awe with how much history, kindness, and authenticity you jam pack in each video. I have always hoped that I can meet you in person someday and become a travel buddy with you. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate you so much!
Hey drew, I’ve travelled to 8 countries. But they were all “safer” countries, but you’ve inspired me to learn and take interest in so many new countries, changing my world view completely. I can’t wait to travel more and hopefully see Mexico and Turkey this year :)
the first minute that explained how there's many stereotypes that negatively portray mexico but aren't accurate truely made me tear up. thank you for showing my country in a positive light, i really appreciate this.
Thank you for making this video Mexico is awesome!❤🇲🇽🔥
No hay nada como aver nacido y crecido en México, tu vida está llena de experiencias, y eso es único
No hay nada como haber aprendido a escribir y saber que "haber" va con "h" y "b"
We ❤ Mexico so much that we're moving there later this year. It's truly a magical place with magical people and culture. Not to mention, the absolute best cuisine in the world ‼️
Lucky
I agree that the Mexicans are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet! I met a lady in Istanbul who said if I ever wanted to visit her home city I would be welcome, and that's how I can say I've been to Mexico City 😁 Didn't feel dangerous at all walking around the city centre or Chapultepec park, the only things to watch out for were quesadillas which were spicier than they looked! 🤣
We say in Mexico “Mi casa es tu casa” my house is your house. We truly mean it 😀.
I've traveled throughout Mexico for over 40 years. I absolutely love it. That guy drinks too much mezcal, he's risking his salud. Santa Prisca in Taxco is beautiful.
Thank you for positively highlighting my country Drew! And it cracks me to see the addiction to coca cola!! :D
I hope you had a great time man. Saludos.
I was born in Mexico and lived there 23 years of my live now I’m living in the Netherlands but nothing will make me forget home and when I saw your video I cried so much, thank you for this video I haven’t feel so good till I watched ❤
