Image Description: Los Voladores
In colorful thousand year old costumes, the voladores, the flyers, of Papantla appeal to the gods by performing a traditional, highly symbolic dance at the base of a tall, tall pole reaching high toward the gods in the sky.
Four flyers carrying long ropes and a fifth, their leader, with his flute and small drum begin the long upward climb. Atop the pole is their platform, a disc for the leader and slabs like one-by-fours making a square for seating.
Slowly the flyers rotate their platform and wind their ropes, four ropes side-by-side, around the pole. When there's no slack left, and with the free ends of the ropes tied well around the waists of the flying-men, the leader appeals to the gods once again.
High atop the pole he plays his flute, and beats a cadence on his tiny diameter drum. Standing he dances to the four cardinal points.

Santuario de Guadalupe
Inspirado en la Basílica de Lourdes, Francia, El santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe tiene hiladas de jarritos de barro, lo que la diferencia de la anterior, por lo que es llamada “Iglesia de los Jarritos”.
