Mexico, Cuetzalan, Puebla, Ago 09 - Cuetzalan, a small town nestled in the Sierra Norte of the state of Puebla, founded by the Franciscans in 1547 among lush forests and crystal-clear waterfalls, is famous for maintaining a practically intact neo-colonial style architecture, with stone streets and wooden buildings covered by roofs of tiles. In the picture: The impressive ritual of the 'Voladores de Papantla', which in Cuetzalan occur every Sunday in front of the Parroquia de San Francisco church. This ancestral rite has its origins in the Mesoamerican cultures of the Clasic period, still practiced today with the Nahuas and Totonecas ethnic groups. After making a dance, four 'voladores' (flying men) circle around a pole tied upside down by a rope that gradually lowers to the ground. This rite was proclaimed Intangible Heritage of Humanity by Unesco in 2009.
