Exploring Monte Alban Ruins, Mexico
We're in the beautiful city of Oaxaca, but we're not going to walk you around the city this week, instead we're taking you a few kilometres outside of town to some of Mexico's most fascinating ruins, Monte Alban. Come with us as we explore the carvings, hieroglyphs, tombs and monuments that put this incredible site on the archeological map!

⭕️ Cómo Llegar A Hierve El Agua y Descubrir El Bello Misterio Geológio De Oaxaca T3 E06
Temporada 3 Episodio 6
En el Municipio de San Lorenzo Albarradas a 70 kilómetros al este de la ciudad de Oaxaca y a casi 2000 metros de altura sobre el nivel del mar, se encuentra uno de las maravillas naturales más bellos del mundo, Hierve el Agua.
Localizada en un área aislada del estado de Oaxaca, entre El Valle de Tlacolula y la Sierra Mixe, conocida como la Sierra Madre del Sur, esta zona semidesértica llena de caminos abruptos de bosques de encinos y cactus te atrapa por su increíble belleza.
Se encuentran a solo 5 km de San Lorenzo Albarradas de menos de 1500 habitantes, pero la administración del lugar es levada también por el poblado de San Isidro Roaguía de menos de 400 habitantes. Estas dos comunidades se mantienen del turismo y del dinero recaudado por las entradas del lugar. Estas comunidades son autónomas por lo que cada una te cobra una admisión.
Hace miles de años que estas cascadas petrificadas se comenzaron a formar, y aunque su nombre nos haga pensar que el agua que emana es caliente, no es así, esta agua sale a la superficie por grietas en la roca de la montaña y está a temperatura ambiente, a unos 25 grados centígrados. El efecto de ebullición que parece tener el agua al salir es por la gran cantidad de gases que emanan junto con el agua, haciéndola burbujear al salir, de ahí su nombre.
Y esta es la única fuente de agua que abastece a estos poblados, convirtiéndola en un oasis en este clima semidesértico.
¿Pero como es que estas cascadas petrificadas se formaron?
El agua de lluvia se ha ido filtrando por la roca y ha formado acuíferos subterráneos que han erosionado la roca de la montaña rica en minerales, cuando el agua de este manantial es expulsada, con ella lleva sedimentos minerales y gases, principalmente de Carbonato de calcio y magnesio, pero también contiene otros como azufre.
Esta clase de formaciones podría pensarse que son relativamente comunes, como las formaciones en cuevas, pero no es así, este es un fenómeno que solo existe en dos partes del mundo, uno aquí en Oaxaca y el otro el Turquía, llamado Pamukkale o Castillo de Algodón.

We share a video of the @Biotoper Víctor Ortíz, it corresponds to a pool in San Lorenzo Cacaotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, where Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus and Poecilia sphenops live.

Chacahua: Going up the Lighthouse! (On the Coast of Oaxaca) ????????

Chacahua: going up the lighthouse on the coast of Oaxaca!
In this video we go from Mazunte to Chacahua, this rather isolated and is a not easy to reach place in Oaxaca, close to Puerto Escondido. The first time I looked it up in Google map it did not even show me the correct location! Anyway, we had our car and asked people in Mazunte for exact directions, so we found our way there.
The road really seems to get in the middle of a jungle that leads to nowhere, especially the fact that we arrived at night felt strange! But we arrived as planned on the west side of Chacahua at night, where we still needed to cross the laguna over to the other side. Because it was late, we decided to sleep on the west side.
The guy that helped us seemed helpful at first but afterward, everything about it seems a little fake and interested in money. He invited us for coffee in the morning etc. You can do it and I think it could be a great time but only if you are not traveling on a budget. If you are trying to keep your costs low, you should never take the opportunities of the first persons you meet especially if it comes from them. Always go by yourself find a place to stay and check a couple of options before choosing one. The reason I am saying this is that he charged us more than discussed for the parking in the end because we just continued on our own. I feel a bit stupid because I have all this experience and knowledge traveling in the past on a budget but suddenly forgot all about it. But it was also late, and we were tired and we didn’t pay that much, I think it could have been really worse in terms of price. A room for two in Chacahua should be found around 400 pesos if there are not many tourists, and it should be less on the west side of the laguna.
Anyway, the next day we went to explore around and went up the lighthouse on top of the hill. I thought at first we could enter inside, but it was actually possible, which turned out into an amazing urbex (urban exploration).
Chacahua is also quite unique with an afromexican community and is a pretty untouched national park. I will post a second video for the other half of our stay in Chacahua on the other side!
The video series is intended to be an entertaining experience, but if you have questions or want some tips, just ask them in the comment section and I’ll be glad to respond :)

I film with my phone, as well as my Fujifilm DSLR camera which I love. If you like the look it creates, you can buy the kit with the same 18-55 lens kit I use through this link (I will get a small commission that helps me to keep on going with this channel):
If it's out of stock you can get the former model which is cheaper and just as good:
