Now this is not just any city, its a huge metropolis. Thats home to 9000000 people.

So in this episode, were going to travel to 3 very different neighborhoods across mexico city. And were going to see how people will call them home, live and work a ready, mammoth lets go. Were starting out in a so called barrier, magical or magic neighbourhood designation given to the most historic, culturally significant parts of mexico city. This is co, i cant now watson for the place of the coyotes you know, when you come to a local barrier here in mexico city, you can skip going to and no car our market because thats where you see how people go about their day. How they work, how they live. Now condos are kind of like the souls of each neighborhood. So im going to take you guys into the coil. I can market and see what we can find inside at go. When you dive into the crowded interior of a local market, your sensors instantly become overwhelmed with the smells, colors and sounds inside. To me, this is as real as it gets if you want to experience a slice of local culture. So with marker in mexico city, you dont just get handicrafts or clothes or just register wasnt approved yet. Often everything pretty much the same place at least here. My theory is you could probably survive in the market for a week without ever having to leave. You have everything that you need, ah, the right here, i want to show you something a little bit different. Take these out. These are so called allegory here. They are kind of surreal, abstract, magical animals that you only find here in mexico. And they are kind of like a combination of different kinds of animal usually. So for example, right, hair mean this to me it looks like a combo of crab and fish and some kind of magical a dragon. Right hair. Weve got a bed painted and all kinds of beautiful patterns with flowers. Okay, im gonna pick out one allegory, hay entreated as my token of good luck. These 2 are my favorites, that i can only choose was the coyote or the pegasus. They were going to get the run. Our next stop is such a meal coat. A peaceful olakes is on the outskirts of mexico city. Thanks to its natural beauty, 30 mucosy unesco World Heritage site. And the way to get around here is im colorful both called tracking data on the weekend duty families, both local, then tourists, partying it a big time on these boats. But today i want to show you a very different grassroots perspective. And on one of these boats we meet ricardo, the founder of an important project, theyll actually number as its called, works with local farmers on restoring the farmlands expanding. So junior cars, natural environment, and protecting it from new construction. It also helps provide jobs for more local while maintaining such nickels traditional agricultural practices. So where does all of this Delicious Food come from . Come from here. Its a local food and we have many products who we harvest. Yeah. Yesterday for, for make the store and i 1st when we have a cell, let me, its been a 10 cherries and cucumber and carrots come from here. And now here we have keith, and we call it gets or, and channel. And hearing the black is gone, who we call it monica hit the we have what im only between a vocabulary organic to come from the one thing. And we prepare. Weve seen an onion with this elantra going from the china and the onion to and in that, but we, we have the coffee pots. No, but theyre made with cinnamon, natural sugar cane, and mix young coffee. One of the best coffees ive ever had in my life, and one of my 2nd cop and im planning for a said was the Nuclear Water canals or the remains of massive water transportation and Food Production system. Originally built by the us decks in the pre colonial valley of mexico, the small islands or 2 numbers which dealt the landscape are actually essential for the survival of mexico city. They provide it with water with Fresh Produce and since the capital was built on top of a lake, the t numbers also rolling, stabilizing the ground underneath it. So it doesnt collapse in on itself. So beautifully is one of which numbers, its so huge. The asterix treated the people from here, they feed it 2800 people from the syria. Wow. And who are the people that work on this jan bus . I have tree workers and they born in the saddle and they know everything about them to make the crops inside. So local food, locally produced by local people, read that easy gold. So check this out. This is soil and a lot of us are scared of that stuff. You know, because its dirty because its not clean, but this is where it all begins. This is where all of our food comes from and its amazing to see the process behind it all. How it actually grows, how its actually created, the origins of our food, you know, like sometimes were so disconnected from the food that we eat from the nourishment that we have. And its just amazing to take the soil this life, giving soil into your hands for just the moment. Smell it, touch it, feel it. This is life. Ah, eisley be here. Feel so wonderful. Its just the screw lash, amazing area of greenery and its half an hour away from the center of mexico city. Says la louis, beautiful commonplaces. Ive seen in this country so far now on to annex destination, back in the center of mexico city. Theres one last place that i want to take you guys thats really special here, but in order to get that, ive had to come to a very different kind of neighborhood to the ones that weve been visiting. So far. This is condenser, the hipster capital of mexico city. Welcome. If youre looking for a highlight to of mexico city, you might skip condenser altogether. But if youd like to experience how mexico city is changing from a truly local perspective, i definitely recommend this is the definition of a hipster neighborhood. No sugar low in carbs. Kito Vegan Ice Cream condenser is the fashionable hips, the center of mexico and very different from all the other neighborhoods in town. It doesnt matter that were in a hipster neighborhood. The time of mexico city is always present to my favorite danger. Ah, i have a spot because ive, ive arrived at like land, justina a tiny hole in the wall bar that deals exclusively in mexican moscow. Mescal is a little bit like tequila in that theyre both made from a guy they but miss cow tends to be much richer, much my aromatic and flavor. The bar manager daniel is here to give us an introduction. Wow, here we go. La la, real mexican was cow room mexican with cody, im thinking with go, amazing. So how strong is this exactly, exactly. Its a 54. 00 degree for vocal weight, 54. 00 point. Think 44. 6 is one of the stronger than we have been left on the center. Vodka, the higher amount of alcohol for you to take more the flavors of the actual actual class. So in with a strong what it will taste good. Do you shot it or do it with the culture . Your don ring . Lets go and shut, drink if the message of neil cases, if he received or did receive, the thing is gonna sell it. And we just give a little sick with holy crap. Its really a no key kind of pay. Yes, sir. Barrys job. All right, sir. How about this . When we raise a toast, now lets raise it to be humble. A. Gov. It runs. Yes. Of course. Id sure cello, a cello, a ah, next we a company drew for newly rattie and an exciting excursion from the popular beach resort of concur. We had to one of mexicos most visited tourist attraction, the ancient ruins of chic janitta. You probably heard of the maya civilization once a vibrant city debate Teacher Needs that is a complex of mine. Go into an ancient structure. Its approximately 200 kilometers from con, best known for the complex calendars advances and mathematics and astronomy, and allegedly predicted to be end of the world in 2012. The mis civilization was one of the most dominant indigenous societies of mexico and central america. Before the 16th century, spanish conquest Teacher Needs those, the unesco World Heritage site, and quite popular. Try to arrive here as early as possible and be here by 8 pm. Otherwise, the reading lines can be quite long. If you want to, you can hide a guide to tell you more about this sites, which will cost it on 50 years and will allow you to skim the less. If youre not a mexican national, i think it will cost you 571. 00 mexican pixels, which is around 25 years. Its about 10 percent cheaper. If youd be like that instead of garcia, youd only use the indian like most terroristic places. There are a lot of to his shops where you can buy souvenirs, but if you dont want anything, just say no grass, yes. M o n a oh, that sounds like a bird. Ah, if you google for cheating need. So the image of this bit omit will come up. I used to think that this itself was Teaching Needs so, but its actually the whole site, this pyramid itself is called the pyramid of ellicott to you are the temple of cool, cool cotton. Its the Main Attraction you cook will come is actually the name of a serpent deity that was worshipped by the maya. And it literally means feathered snake in the yucatan maya language. If youre here, you will see a lot of people clapping. Thats because there is something very special with the acoustics of this temple in the status. If you clap, there will be a code that you hear with sounds like a bird chirping. Specifically that sharp of the mexican kit side, there is a sacred animal in my m culture. Finally, it doesnt work if youre standing on the say, do you have to be standing exactly in the center of the statute . We know that the maya had the really sophisticated glen legos system rebuilding of 365 mcellens. Now whats interesting is that if you see the pyramid behind it side has 91 steps. Exactly, but the main entrance has one extra step. So in total there are 365. 00 steps in the pit, him and on each side he can see 52. 00 rectangular panels. They stand for the 52 year colon record cycle. The maya used to track longer periods of time. Then believe that after each such period, the universe gets destroyed and re created when the new era starts to the misunderstanding that they predicted the end of the world in 2012. The view must be good from up there, but these ruins are protected and youre no longer allowed to claim. But there, this is to avoid accidents and to preserve this ancient side, ah, but here i have the hob calendar of the mayan, which was also 365 days just like our modern kellen. It had a thin month each month had 20 days, and there were 5 days left over at the end of the year. And these my ins considered those 5 days, very dangerous. They were afraid to leave their homes on those dues and followed certain rituals. Because that was the time they believed than the underworld met with the mortal one. The site covers an area of roughly 5 square kilometers, and it is thought that the city used to be all to one of the most and worst ones in the maya world. Which could be the reason why we can find a variety of architectural styles here. And these structures used to be painted. You can see some left over colors. Some of the structures in, you can even find a ball game cord there. Can you imagine playing a game where you have to pick a rubber ball through that hole, but wait, youre not allowed to use your hands feet. You can use your elbows, hips, or this area or any other part of the body. And theres another twist. If you win this game, you get your head cut off. Im not joking. This was literally the rule of this game. The captain of the winning team gets decapitated. But the funny thing is he considered it an honor. It was an honorable sacrifice. The people who wanted to have that happened to them because they believed that they will be in carbonated in a better form. This is one head guy that you know the awesome life after life. Lays ahead there. Oh, its hard to imagine that some of them i ever chose where this brutal given that quite sophisticated sense of architecture with artistic decorations and beautiful carvings. And that it, some of these carvings which give a hint at their customs and read, show this of all as a lot of engraved because thats because they used to put their enemies, goes on a bike on the wall. Ah, dont forget to beg your son soon. Because even in the middle of winter, it gets very hot here, always touching on 30 degrees celsius. But tang fully, theres shade here in some areas. You should also bring enough water. But if youre out of it, there is one shop inside the side which sells. Watch and other beverage. Is it located right next to the sacred in order . Ah, this here is a secret santa will be taking you thing called the used to throw a lot of stuff down there for sacrifice, human human. Ah, if you come all the way to cheat in itself, then you should also visit these amazing sin. Notice like this one down here, which is just a 5 minute drive from suit you. Ah, the ah ah, and finally we head back to mexico city. Even though back lugs trying the local food wherever she travels. So she is going on a street food tour with her. So her neat rusito, my guide to the best food in town. Rossier runs her own Company Called eat like a local who specialize in st for tours right here in mexico city. And were off to a very fast spot, a super local hole in the wall, which says the ultimate street food item and mexico. Jacko.

Exactly, and always your head, the, or the head isnt going to give you a really good that got you as a guinea with some corn anthem mito a. So this is the plane tackle so far.

They fold them and then they piled about like a fan. Yeah. Oh wow. And therefore binding like chopped onions and then they still it with plastic wraps. So why did they sometimes we call it a study. They have more flavors. I like to work with an engineer because he makes it back with most of the basket because theyre made enough mass production. And then when youre in a hurry and your work do jobs and you have things to do, you come to order to, to eat and go. And they, they say the fidelity makes, he makes us every year, every day, different look how beautiful and i smell it.
