Voladores de Papantla - El Tajin
Passing threw Papantla, we were told to visit El Tajin not far off the road, 15 kms... so we made a little detour.
El Tajin meaning " Thunder or Hurricane "some beautiful Pyramids are located here, but unfortunately we didn't visit, too
much gear on the bikes and a high fee to visit, we decided to pass, since we are going to see more Ruins in the Yucatan soon.
But we did show up in time to see the traditional dance. One guy stands on top of the 100 foot pole and plays a traditional instrument while 4 other guys spin around and get lower to the ground tied by a rope around their waist. Talk about a head rush!!
