hola todos we're back in durango we're continuing to explore a state of mexico
far less frequented by foreigners by visiting one of the most well-known attractions in the city and
trust me it's epic durango is not only synonymous with highly venomous scorpions and mexican
revolutionist pancho villa you could also call it mexico's hollywood wild west classic starring
legends from john wayne to john candy have been filmed on movie sets in durango and today
we're visiting one so stick them up amigos the sheriff's in town it's time to get your can can on
okay welcome back everyone to durango today we're gonna have some fun because
once again you've miraculously come across me somewhere in the middle of nowhere in mexico
and i've just gone past a little place called los arcos and i'm on my way
to the destination for this video but first i want to check out this thing behind me
because it's absolutely epic and it's something i've never seen before
so let's get going can you get any more mexico than this all that's missing is a sepia toned
filter with a guy drinking tequila up against a cactus um yeah barbacoa place and i can hear
i don't know if you can hear it there's like the someone like chopping meat or something in there
inside and um if we go around here it's the thing i've never seen before this is not that thing rica
barbacoa big cow but over here behind this car there's a bit there i guess where they would serve
food it is open this place but this is the thing i'm talking about i don't know if this is the
thing but is this like the pit that they would put the cows or goats or whatever into to to cook them
um i've never seen anything like this before it's really heavy to lift up so i'm not gonna do that
it's much more rural of course we've got some guys down there i'm assuming they're
farmers or something don't know what they're doing with that big stick horse over there
okay as i'm walking along this highway with no pavement
or sidewalk there's a sign over the road - old west walk 500
meters away that's where we're going is this a campsite
rent a tent i don't know uh with water and birthday of antonio perfecto
i'm not gonna lie but this looks really cool i know it's a bit of a you know it's a tourist thing
but sometimes that's great uh no drinks no pets no smoking uh oh there's english
okay it costs 50 pesos for adults and 30 for children
to paseo del viejo oeste old west walk in english i believe this there are some shows so i believe
oh yes saturday and sunday there are three of them um it's about 11 30 now i think so i've
got a couple of hours to film some bits here's the ticket isn't that cool it's like an old
fifty dollar note i guess or maybe pesto do an angle
i feel like a little kid look there are tepees
got the sign there
i'm beyond excited look at this it's like a little west town
we've got a useful map at the entrance so i've come in there there's the apache village that
we just saw there's a grand saloon how cool is that hotel museum church this is amazing
right obviously you had to wear a mask but i'm taking off for a second just so you can
actually see me speak so this apache village i think it's a bit like children you know
you can get a photo taken with an apache indian which is cool hello hello horsey
i've got a feeling i'm going to get sunburned today brilliant i'm in the lincoln cemetery or
fake cemetery this is basically like a theme park if you know what i mean so there are all
these graves or makeshift graves yeah like i'm assuming they're not real for people like burt
lancaster kirk douglas john candy i'll come on to him in a second charles bronson john wayne famous
movie star and durango the state basically is well known for wild west movies so i believe over 150
have been filmed in the state not necessarily here about 13 i think have been filmed here
dating back to the early 70s this place was built in the 60s and it's basically a film set which has
now been turned into a kind of attraction theme park a bit like the Teleferico in the last durango
video it's a great thing to do on a sunday and as i said there is a really cool performance
coming up which will be very soon i just wanted to mention that john candy i didn't realize he
died in durango filming a movie a wild west movie in 1994 he had a heart attack i knew he died of a
heart attack but i didn't know that it was filming a movie in durango interesting fact of the day
the lighting in durango and the scenery it doesn't take a genius that's why durango
pretty much has been used so much for wild west movies because of just how bloody amazing it is
i've got to say the lighting in durango despite the fact i can't see anything that i'm filming
at the moment because of the sun it's wonderful okay the music stopped it's time for tostitos
and this performance i've been talking about get ready for some can can!
i'm chilling with my horses i think one of them just did a
video fairly is nervy could you hear that and anyway um that was really cool um it was
basically like the story of uh someone hansen parker who was wanted and there were all the
apache indians and also john smith john mcclane and john someone else who were like there was the
sheriff and there was all this fighting and you know of course it's all related to well west movie
type type things shootouts territorial disputes between cowboys and indians it's difficult if
you don't speak in spanish to be honest i kind of got the gist of most of it i hope but all of it
and the performance the performers really like get into it um like really into character i
thought the can-can bit was bloody brilliant that's the bit i was looking forward to the most
um yeah it was just awesome and uh that's what i could say on it right we're heading to one
final stop before we finish this video but first i need to do a fake pretend shock thumbnail photo
that'll do okay i've walked two kilometers down the road to san vicente de chupaderos
could i be the first english person to ever come to this place but apparently it's um this small
town that has 784 inhabitants apparently was the first ever place in durango where
a wild west movie was filmed um just stumbling down this slope oh train tracks and um just look
at the scenery around here it's insane yeah this video is a bit like Nezahualcoyotl last
year when i kind of did all that and then went to a tiny little bit at the end it's like an addendum
right hopefully well i've seen pictures and it looks like a wild west town as well
but we shall see kind of getting a Ecatepec vibes
literally no one here although i can hear music in that place and there's a dog
yeah it just seems to be like one of them small little towns
there aren't many people use masks wash your hands
doesn't seem to be any wild west buildings though yeah if you wanted dessert in
mexico you've got it there's a person outside that mini supermarket up there
but that's about it it's all a bit spooky to be honest that
this kind of reminds me of a place i went to in kyrgyzstan four years ago kochkor
with these like wide roads sandy roads dirt road these small little houses that
you know look uninhabited i'm sure if they are yeah there's gates open the dogs tied up
things like that but uh it's just bizarre this is probably one of the weirdest places
i've been to in a long time and also kids that was like that in kochkor as well you
know fascinated children with the fact that there was some white english guy here but
they don't seem as fascinated here so thanks for watching everyone if you've enjoyed this video
