  • 🇲🇽 CULIACÁN, SINALOA, Mexico - Welcome! Culiacán isn't Mexico's most dangerous city based on homicide statistics, although it is often thought of as such due to its association with the Sinaloa cartel. In this 2021 Mexico Travel video, I'll show you why you're wrong about Culiacán.
    It's not often you would see a foreigner in Culiacán, Sinaloa, which is just a few hours from Mazatlán, the popular beach destination. In fact, I've not need a single other native English speaker since I've been here! This video is the first part of 4 videos from Culiacán in which we cover some things to do in Culiacán (including the Chapel of Jesús Malverde, a well-known bandit and patron Saint of drug trafficking), some of the Mexican food in Culiacán such as sushi Sinaloa style (in part 2!), talk about some overall reflections of Culiacán as well as a one-take 10-minute walkaround Centro with no talking, music or anything, in 4k!

    If you're thinking about moving to Mexico or becoming one of the increasing number of expats in Mexico, your choices aren't limited to popular areas like Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. You might even be looking for off the beaten track Mexico. You might ask the questions, "Is Mexico Safe?" or, "Is Mexico dangerous. Sinaloa is a state that, granted, you'll need to be able to speak Spanish in, but the city and state has so much to offer, just as much as those other places!

    Hi everyone! Just so you are aware, I know that Culiacan is NOT considered to be the 'most dangerous city' in Mexico by homicide statistics - it's purely that it is a common Google and CZcams search term and that's how CZcams titles, keywords and search engine optimisation work if I want the video to be recommended to viewers. Note that this is a VERY POSITIVE video about the city! *Have you been to Culiacan?*

    ¡Hola a todos! Para que lo sepan, sé que Culiacán NO es considerada la 'ciudad más peligrosa' de México por las estadísticas de homicidios; es simplemente que es un término de búsqueda común en Google y CZcams y así es como los títulos de CZcams, las palabras clave y la optimización de motores de búsqueda trabajar si quiero que el video sea recomendado a los espectadores. ¡Tenga en cuenta que este es un video MUY POSITIVO sobre la ciudad! * ¿Has estado en Culiacán? *

    From the cathedral to the Malverde shrine, from Tostilocos to ice cream, to families playing at the plaza next to signs of missing people, Culiacán as Mexico is a bizarre mix of realities: it isn’t unsafe, nor it is safe… it is just real. I might be wrong but one thing I love about Mexico is that we don’t pretend to be what we are not, we don’t hide it… if people are interested to see the real side of Mexico, they will. We have pretty places and run down places, and the look of them has no connection with good or bad people. And I just love that judging others isn’t as easy here as anywhere else. You got to know a place, you got to know the people to know… and you David prove that over and over with your videos. Thanks hun. I hope you feel better.

    I´m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Culiacán. It´s a bit of a shame that you visited the city just after one of the worst droughts in many years ended, since lots of the green that characterizes the city was lost. The big and nice rivers were almost dry (Thats why the boats were abandoned) and most of the pretty parks and gardens turned into mud and dirt. But anyhow, I am very excited to see the next part of this series, specially about the food in Culiacán. I´m happy to see a foreigner visiting the city, as you said, Culiacán is not a popular tourist destination at all, and it´s always refreshing to see and listen to someone else´s perspective about it. Greetings!

    Mexico as always been a country with open arms but remember that's not a weakness, its respect and a loving country.

    David, you can feel indirectly the the Cartel presence in Culiacan with the disappeared lists on that wall. The Malverde experience is strange, out of the ordinary for sure, some people seemed to have faith in this cult and it is hard to judge. But as you pointed out, there are plenty of things in Culiacan one can enjoy. One could almost say that Culiacan is in a class of its own.

    • @warreneckels4945
      @warreneckels4945 Před 3 lety

      If you are referring to the tablas saying something like "Gracias por Favores Recibidos", it means that somebody prayed to Jesus Malverde for something, received it, and credits Malverde for the favor granted. There is a tradition of tablas for officially recognized Catholic saints, the Virgin Mary and Christ when they are credited with a favor received.
      Santa Muerte is also prayed to, usually for the ordinary things, but sometimes for things that the worshipper does not feel comfortable requesting of the traditional Catholic saints or from the Trinity.

    I don't know if you got it wrong or not, but Malverde wasn't originally associated with drug cartels, he was a bandit, yes, but he worked alone and did give to the poor. When he died he became this figure a lot of locals (regular people not involved in crime at all) looked to in hard times, most old people asked for or know someone who asked for favors to Malverde and can tell you of his miracles, they really believe in him like other catholics believe in la Virgen. Years later drug traffickers and other criminals also turned to Jesus Malverde as a "Santo patrón", and yes, that might be bizarre, but the latter I don't think so (yes, I'm a local so I'm biased hehe). Just wanted to clear that out, overall your take as a foreigner was really nice. Qué bueno que te gustó Culiacán! Ojalá regreses :)

      Yep thanks for the info Julián, I wasn't referring to Malverde being originally associated with cartels. I think it was difficult to articulate at the time because it was so fascinating!

I'm from the United States and I had been reading online that it can be dangerous and that it comes up under the "Do Not Travel" section on the U.S. travel website, which made me a little nervous, but I'm feeling a lot better after watching this. I'm super excited to be able to meet her though, she is so incredible.

      You have to understand that filming and regular travel are completely different. Having someone 'show me around' does not work in a video. All the things I included were recommended by Instagram followers from Culiacan so there's not much else I can do. I specifically said at the beginning of this video that this is the first of 4 videos. The first one is normally first impressions. Also, I don't film everything I do, for example La Lomita and many other food locations. Also, those things were interesting to me, eg Jesus Malverde. I don't have to do the things that interest others, this is my life!
