Cuetzalan - The Celebration of San Francisco
Cuetzalan - The Celebration of San Francisco In the America's with David Yetman
Five hundred years ago, Franciscan priests journeyed to the remote city of Cuetzalan in Puebla State. The region was fertile for evangelizing, an urban area of Aztecs and Totonacans who supported a vibrant culture. The traditions and languages continue today in a town that venerates its fiestas and the ancient rituals they perpetuate, especially the acrobatic, airborne voladores.
