❤Que bonita Iglecia
Que bella Yucateca precioso traje
What a wonderful video, Maria! Thank you for taking us to the Mucbipollo festival. Your Yucatka dress is beautiful! It was fascinating to see the historic San Sebastian church and all the incredible Hanal Pixán altars. The tradition of remembering loved ones with their favorite foods is so meaningful. That coffee-flavored orchata looked really interesting, too! Thanks for sharing this lovely piece of culture from Mérida.
100 pesos?!?! Must be Mucbipollo from Tulum 🤣
Bonito video prima ♥️
Such a fascinating tradition. The Festival of Mucbipollo beautifully showcases Yucatán’s rich culture and culinary heritage. Love seeing how communities celebrate their roots through food.
