welcome to Eat Baila Travel today we're traveling to the Wild Wild West
there's a theme park in Durango that actually used to be a movie set to make you feel like
you're in the old Wild West tickets are 50 pesos for adults and 30 pesos for children
which is super affordable
since 1954 this movie set has been the scene for countless movies series soap operas music videos and commercials and it's still being used for
all types of film projects for more than 50 years National and international directors
choose this location for their movies because of the blue skies natural beauty and Colonial
scenery it's been a theme park since 2001 where people get to enjoy a variety of shows
and experiences we arrived thirsty so let's start our day at the saloon when you walk in it's like
walking into a time machine that takes you to the Old Southwest the saloon is equipped with
a variety of spirits and Liquors beer and Cocktails but right now I'm in the mood for
a michelada for 95 pesos believe it or not this is going to be the very first thing I eat today
what they're going to jail
they look very excited to be going to jail
now that we had something to drink let's go get some food
they have restaurants on each side
they have mexican restaurants and then on the other side where we got this michelada they have southwest style so it's like American style
restaurants so what should we do should we do Mexicans American southwest
so we chose to eat inside the hotel and I think it
was a good choice because you've got all these cool movie posters
I don't think I ever really watched these movies before my time
but it is cool to learn about them
and the view from the balcony is really neat
in Durango you'll see gorditas everywhere and then gorditas and burritos are the main cuisine around here
and we're super familiar with gorditas because it's a lot of what I eat like at home shout out
to my mom for making gorditas every Friday and we've got cactus with ricotta cheese this is the
one oh this is the one with egg yeah and then we have yeah this is the cactus with ricotta cheese
ricotta cheese whatever
this one is pork rinds
scrambled eggs with cactus
and I think that was it oh this is poblano strips with cheese
yeah the ricotta cheese (requesón) is super delicious
there are three shows on weekends that take this already immersive experience
to the next level the first two we saw were action-packed and full of drama it's
Cowboys and Indians and bank robberies and standoffs but mostly it's parody and comedy
another section of the park is dedicated to the Indian and Native American nations
represented during the Old West movie era which were mostly Apaches some things are
replicas but other things look pretty real
I hope this one's not real
for 10 pesos you can get your face painted like an Apache
it's a gift shop by the way but no photo or video allowed so bye
so not only do we have the American southwest section over there's also a whole Mexican Village over here Pueblo Mexicano
and it just gives me Westworld Vibes with anybody's seen that show it's super cool
it's almost 4:45pm it's almost time for the next show this is going to be the Mexican
show of Park I have no idea how that's gonna be different but I'm excited to see it
again wow it does look just like Westworld
It does look more colonial
Pulque!
I wish they had some
I'm getting thirsty
we got a cantarito with mezcal for 85 pesos and it was delicious
this is the wishing well I'm gonna make a wish that if you're watching this that you subscribe
and if you're already subscribed that you leave a comment
this show in Pueblo Mexicano was a little more interactive, it also seemed like improv
they were aiming for a serious show but it turned out to be very comical and I really liked it
the only thing that I failed in is I got a hat not a cowboy hat
wrong kind of hat
you don't have jeans or boots
fail, what a fail
still got one more show so we're super excited we got 20 minutes until the show starts so let's see
if we can find a cool souvenir or maybe try some local mezcal
that family was so cute did you see them? they're all dressed up like Southwest robbers
I think for most of the sets my favorite one is the saloon and I want to try some mezcal so let's go
Bruber
artisanal mezcal
from Durango, right?
Agave Duranguense
I figure other places would have this but this place has the right setting
what type of agave is it from?
it's the Duranguense agave, it's the species we have here in Durango
Agave Duranguense, so that's what it's called?
yes it's the scientific name
it's very good
so this is the mezcal Duranguense
the plant is actually called Duranguense it's obviously from the Durango region
and I like it it's smoky and spicy a little bit different to me it's something equivalent to espadín
of Oaxaca but it's a little bit spicier
and definitely more smokier
try it Jenny I liked it a lot
all right
I overserved it it's spilling over
it is delicious and spicy
it's going to rev up an appetite
it's not mouthwash
the third show is the best because they pulled in the audience members to participate and it
was hilarious the man with the megaphone is the director who selected audience
members to be movie set staff like camera crew assistants and actors I think seeing
the behind the scenes mayhem of filmmaking was more entertaining for us because we can relate
I got hungry
I got hungry during the show so I went and got some ceviche with Tostitos
some real fish Ceviche right here for $90 pesos
good?
yeah
this is fun I'm glad we made it definitely worth coming down 40 pesos each whether it's
shooting range or the mechanical bull they're both totally worth it
now it's time to rob a bank just kidding we're here for a photo shoot around here you got to
be careful not to be put on a wanted poster or else you might find yourself in a standoff
our time here has come to an end I want to point out that our time here flew we got here like at
1 15 and it is now seven o'clock and six hours just like flew by when I heard that there was
three different shows like 5:30pm but no there the shows are back to back we had so much
fun we loved how much like there's a variety of things for everyone for adults for children so
it's very family oriented we highly recommend that you bring your family out here it's very
affordable the entrance is only 50 pesos and the things inside the park are super affordable
souvenirs the activities horseback riding pony riding pictures the shooting range the mechanical
bull like there's just tons and tons of shows and it's and every show is different so you
get a different experience from every single show and we loved all of them they were all
super good super entertaining hopefully we get the opportunity to come back probably a little
bit earlier like when they open at 11 A.M not at 1PM yeah and then maybe we'll come a little bit
dressed more appropriate for this kind of atmosphere I would have loved to rent the war entire day so I
be in character the whole day before we wrap this up we want to give and give a shout out
