GENERAL INFORMATION

Outside of the Anthropology Museum you’ll notice a large pole. This is where the Voladores De Papantla perform a ritual ceremony in which a group of people (usually men) dance before climbing up a 30-meter pole, tie themselves by the feet to said pole, and then slowly descend, flying upside-down, bit by bit until they reach the ground.
Address: 770 Av Grutas, Ciudad de México, CDMX 11100
