Part 2. Cumbre Tajin Festival
When I was 17, I was part of a dancing club and we had the opportunity to
perform in different parts of the country. One of my favorite places was in
Veracruz during the Cumbre Tajin. When we arrived there, The Voladores
de Papantla were climbing the post. I was amazed by the surrounding area;
there were thousands of people watching.
We saw 5 men climbing the post. They were dressed in red pants and a white
shirt, a cloth across the chest and a cap. The clothes were embroidered
and decorated beautifully, their hat was adorned with owers for fertility and
the mirrors representing the sun.
Later on, while the Voladores were performing, the tourists were taking a lot of
pictures.
