TEPOZTLÁN - Traveling for $20 a Day in Mexico

Tepoztlán is considered a 'pueblo magico' (magical town) in Mexico, and it's obvious why; this place is MAGICAL. An hour drive south of Mexico City, it's a gorgeous little town situated in the middle of vast mountains.
One of the most distinctive features of Tepoztlán is the pre-hispanic culture that still exists here. Namely, in the food. We ate a ton of delicious pre-hispanic food that I'd never even heard of, including tacos acorazados, and itacate. We also drank pulque, a native alcoholic drink that looks like milk!
Parvati has family living here, so we came to stay in Tepoztlán for a few days and explore, and hang out with her loved ones. It was one of the friendliest and coziest spots I've visited yet in all of Mexico.
If you ever visit Mexico City, I highly suggest you take a day to visit Tepoztlán. It'll surely be one of the highlights of your trip in Mexico.

Someone did a great job raising Parvi. She always has such joy in everything ya'll do. Even the way she looks at you melts my heart. Loved watching the interaction with her brother and friend and it's easy to tell that family is a very important part of her culture. I love ya'll!

Great video Kevin, Ive been following you since 2015 or something, went to your same hostel in Hanoi and ran into the same manager on your video, now that you are closer to home which is DR, cant wait to follow your steps in Latinamerica. Ive been many times to México but not to this amazing pueblo mágico. Cant wait to visit!

[@musicfinder3178]

This was honestly amazing, and so well done! You can tell the effort put into everything ❤️ keep it up!

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

When you guys are all done with your Central/ South American journey and if you ever make it over to Europe, you've got a free place to crash in Spain if you ever make it! 🇪🇸 🍻

[@SammyTvMan]

Great video as always man!

[@brendonschomer5736]

love your videos man, for real! I do not understand why you are not getting more views on these. You know the YT algorithm more than me but better title labeling of videos and selling your soul to the YT thumbnails is probably where it is at.
