Playa del Carmen | el Parque Los Fundadores 4K Tour 2023

Описание: "This may be the first place you actually see in Playa Del Carmen if you have come by bus from the airport. It is the park in Playa Del Carmen just outside of the ADO Bus Station on 5th Avenue. Called Parque Los Fundadores or “Founding Fathers Park” it is one of the original areas in Playa Del Carmen just at the tip of Avenue Juarez and next to the Cozumel Ferry Pier.

This public space has been reinventing itself over time to change with Playa and changing Playa for the better. Just taking time to come and sit in this park is entertaining and you will take in what makes Playa such an interesting place. You will see why this is a “fun” place to visit.

A new addition to the park is the flying Papantla performers. Called Voladores de Papantla, these performers literally fly around a 30 meter (98ft.) pole from which four of the five participants then launch themselves tied with ropes to descend to the ground. The fifth remains on top of the pole, dancing and playing a flute and drum.

According to one myth, the ritual was created to ask the gods to end a severe drought. This ritual is most commonly associated with the Papantla, Veracruz area of Mexico. This ritual is performed throughout the day and something that should not be missed if you have not seen it before. After the performance a donation is taken from those in attendance. This is how these performers are supported and giving something helps keep this art form alive."
