00:00We were just passing by. We were just passing by to tell the people what this place was all about.
00:07Excellent.
00:30So the sun is slowly being covered now and it's a little chilly, but it's amazing. We've had such an amazing experience.
00:47The weather was fantastic. Ghost Town, I definitely recommend it.
00:51I think if you like sceneries like these and you don't want to go too far, then Mexico is right around the corner, guys.
00:58Well, that's if you're in the U.S., of course, or Canada.
01:01Let's see what else is waiting for us. Oh, we got some sun.
01:05I don't know what's going on at night in this town, so we're just going to have to find out.
01:09Maybe do some shopping. The food is amazing, too.
01:12We have a couple more days left. Hope you guys are enjoying the ride.
01:28♪
01:48♪
02:09They paid like the toll.
02:11First they pay the money, then they pay the toll.
02:14Oh, and they also charged those who took out the material.
02:19So there's an old toll down there.
02:22The horse...
02:28Imagine people making this road every day, several times a day.
02:34Mula, Javier...
02:42What's up, guys? We are horseback riding in Real de Catorce.
02:46And my butt hurts.
02:48Very important.
02:53Very important fact that you need to know.
02:57This is crazy.
03:00We're very high, you guys.
03:02We are very high.
03:04We are very high, guys.
03:06And my butt hurts.
03:13♪
03:29♪
03:48Very well, friends. We are going to continue touring this beautiful town of Real de Catorce.
03:51We are going to meet the owner of this beautiful hotel.
03:54We came here very spontaneously.
03:56And we said, we are not going to book a hotel.
03:58And the first hotel we came to.
03:59And thank goodness, because it's a museum inside.
04:01You're going to see it.
04:02It's right here, Mesón de la Abundancia.
04:03And Petra Puentes is the owner's manager.
04:05But you don't like to be called owner.
04:07How are you?
04:08Hello, how are you? Welcome.
04:09I'm glad you're giving your beautiful energy to this space, to this Real de Catorce.
04:13Thank you. How nice.
04:14Yes, as I was saying, actually, owner sounds a little strong, right?
04:18Actually, I think we have these spaces in charge momentarily.
04:22And we are not owners of anything.
04:23We are owners of our being.
04:24I love it, I love it.
04:25Nothing else.
04:26We are momentary owners.
04:27And these historical monuments really belong to all of us.
04:30Because they are full of history.
04:31We have been talking since 1750, more or less, when all this began to be built.
04:35You have to imagine all the energy that these places have.
04:37Yes, yes, yes.
04:38I'll tell you the truth.
04:39We stayed in the king's room.
04:41And I said, well, something is going to appear here tonight.
04:44But no, it turns out that I was very calm.
04:46You do have to do your cleaning, right?
04:48Well, look, as it comes very holistic.
04:50You're right.
04:51I don't miss the one who tells me, hey, you have to give it a little pass.
04:53And of course we did leave it.
04:55Because, well, they are old energies.
04:56They are peoples of a lot of energy charge.
04:58And somehow, yes, there are people who are more sensitive to things,
05:02people, things.
05:03Not another one.
05:04I would say something, but nothing as alarming.
05:05Because one thinking about the history of this place of Real de Catorce,
05:08and the slavery that there was in this area.
05:11That's right, that's right.
05:12Well, yes, the suspended souls never miss.
05:14But hey, there I think the Mexican is very growing.
05:16And it's been a long time since that has been mobilized.
05:18No, and I can also tell you, Real de Catorce is not a normal little town.
05:21You also have to see that.
05:22Don't tell me.
05:23It's a little town.
05:24Look, it's a little town that is considered a vortex of strong energy.
05:27Uh-huh.
05:28So, obviously, that is perceived.
05:30Besides, it is a religious sanctuary.
05:31Not only do people come for the cultural, architectural theme of history.
05:35But they also come for a deep religious part.
05:37Sure.
05:38Its sacred enclosure for the huicholes.
05:40So, there is a strange mixture that is not just a normal magical town.
05:43Sure.
05:44Then you enter through a tunnel of 2 kilometers, 300 meters to get to it.
05:46And then you realize here, something very strange,
05:48is that our town is the only one in our country that does not have the plaza in front of the church.
05:52If you realize, the plaza is two blocks ahead.
05:54And then our beloved country was the church, the municipal presidency and the plaza.
05:58All close.
05:59Okay.
06:00And not here.
06:01It's the first rarity.
06:02First rarity.
06:03Well, for something it will be, for something it will be.
06:04Well, they had their designs, Real.
06:05It's a little town that was built apart, you know.
06:07Magical.
06:08Okay.
06:09Tell me a little bit about the building where Totel is located.
06:12What was it before?
06:13Look, this, this ...
06:15And this beauty.
06:16Very modest, well, very modest facade, because in reality if you see it from the outside,
06:19it's a little town that looks, I mean, it's a facade that looks modest.
06:22But look, these, these bars, these are original.
06:26That means that no one breaks it.
06:28This, this was originally the entrance to the treasury, because here was the tatarabuela of a bank.
06:33It is a very rudimentary structure of what are now ...
06:36This started in the banks.
06:38This was to pay.
06:39They closed this door.
06:40Obviously these did not exist.
06:42They closed that.
06:43There were these that are here.
06:45Come in.
06:48If you prefer to close it.
06:50Let's see.
06:51Let's take this off.
06:52Let's see.
06:53Look, these were closed, the gate outside was closed and here was a cashier paying.
06:57That's why it was called the treasury in the year 1863.
07:01Why did they put wood on it?
07:03I mean, sheet metal.
07:04Because in those days, one of the ways to attack was by lighting the doors.
07:07So that's why many doors have sheet metal.
07:10So that's the reason.
07:12Everything has its reason.
07:13Yes, yes, yes, yes.
07:14And apart, well, you know that in here, still to be preserved more,
07:16if you liked to pass it.
07:17Look, they closed it.
07:21And they still locked it with a stick that goes there too.
07:23Here they put a strong, resistant stick that in case of wanting to open.
07:27They could not, of course.
07:28It took a while.
07:29But what do you think that is?
07:30This is a wonderful old watchtower.
07:33Those little holes were for armed men.
07:36Here they checked the cashier so that if they attacked him or something,
07:39well, there was an armed man.
07:40They protected.
07:41If you ran in and as I said, the treasury came in with everything and everything,
07:44here we have another little hole that was for another armed man,
07:47for people who could come here.
07:49Everything has its reason.
07:50And that wall was there before or was it built?
07:52No, that wall was already there.
07:53Here, as it was a house-room, the transformation that this house underwent
07:56was only in the doors.
07:57If you notice, it is a door cut in half, it is not a house door.
08:00So that was for the famous treasury.
08:02Just imagine our real.
08:04In the whole beloved country, very rich places.
08:06Real de Catorce, so small and so far away, so inhospitable,
08:10had its own money house.
08:12From here they took the gold, the silver, right?
08:14The silver, and they had their own brothers-in-law.
08:16Imagine, they were tremendous.
08:17Very rich.
08:18So it was a very rich town.
08:19But obviously all that also caused problems.
08:22Yes, of course.
08:23You know that wool also sometimes brings decadence.
08:24Where there is money.
08:25Excesses.
08:26Well, our ancestors went crazy there.
08:28But hey, they left a wonderful architectural legacy.
08:31I love how you have it.
08:32These are from before too?
08:34These, notice that when we arrived at this house,
08:36this house, originally in 1977,
08:39was when it was originally opened,
08:41because Pedro Páramo's film was filmed here.
08:43It was the first film that was filmed in Catorce.
08:45From there, many more films have been released.
08:47And all these decorations, corners, everything was already here.
08:50When we opened in 96, all this was already here.
08:52Since 96.
08:53And well, you can imagine the walls.
08:55This house is made up of walls almost one meter wide.
08:58That's why when it's the harsh winters,
09:00in here it looks like you have heating.
09:02Yes.
09:03But it is due to this mixture of stones and a strong construction.
09:05If you think about it, today's construction is terrible.
09:08Well, the walls are very thin.
09:10You hear about the neighbor.
09:12But before they didn't have that problem.
09:14They were durable things.
09:15That's right.
09:16So we were circulating.
09:17You know, there are interesting objects.
09:19This piano dates from 1894.
09:21I also want to tell you that Catorce,
09:23Catorce was a very cultural town.
09:25There were many music groups.
09:27From 1850 to 1908,
09:29it was a cusp of an interesting cultural life.
09:33And why is it called Real de Catorce?
09:35Real de Catorce, well, that's a long topic.
09:37Look, Real de Catorce, there are several versions.
09:40But one of the ones that seems to me the most solid,
09:42apart from legends that 14 bandits.
09:44That's what I had heard.
09:46There is a more official version that says
09:48that when they brought the Route of the Silver,
09:50the Spaniards who came from Zacatecas
09:52and we collided with us,
09:54they obviously sent, which is logical,
09:56an advance of Spanish soldiers
09:58to see how the naturals were from here.
10:00It turns out that the naturals from here
10:02welcomed them there.
10:0314 Spanish soldiers died
10:05who left their bodies here.
10:06So when they said,
10:07there in the Sierra de los Catorce,
10:09it was for those 14.
10:10So that was before the foundation of Catorce.
10:12So when they give it the official name,
10:14they add 14.
10:16There is another version.
10:17Sorry, we listen to music outside.
10:18Oh, well, it's great.
10:20The passage of the ...
10:22There are pilgrimages, of course, look.
10:25There are pilgrimages.
10:28That is the religious fervor.
10:35How beautiful.
10:36It is that all are the pilgrimages.
10:37We are at patronal parties.
10:39San Francisco de Asís.
10:41For those who do not know who San Francisco de Asís is.
10:43San Francisco de Asís is a saint
10:45that the Catholic religion represents the sun.
10:47He is a healer.
10:48So that's why all the people ...
10:50And the flowers mean something?
10:51Yes, of course.
10:52They all have to leave an offering in the church.
10:54Then that offering is received by the father.
10:56This is a pilgrimage from somewhere in particular in Mexico.
10:58Right now it's very simple.
11:00There are those who wear more spectacular dances.
11:03How beautiful.
11:04Look at my skin.
11:06Of course.
11:07It is a tradition in our beloved Mexico.
11:09Very rooted and very ...
11:10Look at the tail.
11:11And obviously they wear their offering.
11:13It can be a bouquet of flowers or it can be a candle.
11:15And they leave it there.
11:16And all these people come exclusively to the church.
11:18How beautiful.
11:19I love it.
11:20That's why we're here.
11:21Look, these decorations right now are momentary.
11:23They are only for the month of October.
11:25And all the animals are put on because San Francisco de Asís
11:27was the first ecologist in the world.
11:29They say that the animals followed him, right?
11:31Exactly.
11:32And he was a connection with the animals.
11:33And he explained that life is a whole.
11:35We are connected with animals and plants.
11:37So he is the first ecologist in the world.
11:39That's why right now he is the patron of ecologists.
11:41San Francisco de Asís.
11:42No, I'm in love with this.
11:44Well guys, let's continue inside.
11:46How fascinating.
11:48And here they have it in case you didn't see it before.
11:50Yes, here is San Francisco de Asís.
11:52And also, look at the image of him right now.
11:54Here he is standing with something in his hands
11:56that has little birds and so on.
11:58But in reality, the original image
12:00that is in the church is very atypical
12:02because he is sitting and crowned.
12:04That's why the representation of Francisco de Asís
12:06is very special, very atypical.
12:08And it has thousands and thousands of pilgrims
12:10because normally in all of our country
12:12the image of Panchito is presented like this.
12:14But here he is sitting and crowned.
12:16It's easier this way, right?
12:18Yes, it's easier this way.
12:20It's very rare, people are always passionate about it.
12:22That's right.
12:24It's incredible, the maintenance you have to have
12:26to keep all of this so impeccable.
12:28That's right.
12:30All of these are, look,
12:32what are they called?
12:34Original bars.
12:36And I will tell you that when it was the abandonment of 14
12:38that we are talking about,
12:40its decline began from 1908 until 1970.
12:42There was a lot of looting of this type of material
12:44because they came to sell it as old iron,
12:46and they melted it for the world wars.
12:48There was a railroad that came to I don't know where
12:50and they took out the tracks.
12:52Can you see it up close?
12:54All of them were dismantled.
12:56You know, all of the tracks were dismantled.
12:58That's only in Mexico.
13:00That's a crime, really.
13:02It's crazy.
13:04And then in Tulum we see hotels with...
13:06With all the sleeping people on the train.
13:08Oh my God.
13:10And he says, where will those sleeping people come from?
13:12That's right.
13:14Look, here in this part of the house
13:16originally all of this section
13:18that are now rooms
13:20was where the money warehouses were kept.
13:22Remember that in those years,
13:24imagine if you had 5,000 miners
13:26or a huge amount of miners
13:28that obviously there were robbers.
13:30So that's why they created the treasury.
13:32They kept the money here and here they paid the miners.
13:34So the person from above,
13:36you came and said, I want so much of my account.
13:38And here they kept all the money boxes.
13:40Remember that it was pure money in coins
13:42of 8 reales of silver, quarters, everything was like that.
13:44It smells a little old.
13:46All of this.
13:48And what is this?
13:50This is a curious artifact.
13:52This was the part that carries a cart underneath.
13:54Here there were many diligence.
13:56It's the one that goes to one side,
13:58to the right, to the left.
14:00It's the one that carries the axis down.
14:02And this is original.
14:04This is very, very old.
14:06It's amazing how the wood is intact.
14:08All these basements are now rooms.
14:10Yes, people have to have steel nerves to stay here.
14:12With 25 years of being here.
14:14I'll tell you that before,
14:16the energy was heavy.
14:18There were many legends of people
14:20who slept in this hotel 25 years ago.
14:22They told us so many things.
14:24And I removed a number of rare masks
14:26that I saw here that still impressed me.
14:28I'm not a fan of masks.
14:30The masks were horrible.
14:32Here it was a quantity full of masks.
14:34To begin with, everything that is metallic
14:36or iron absorbs energy.
14:38Everything that is old,
14:40I try not to have old things
14:42in the houses.
14:44But if you know,
14:46you can clean it.
14:48We clean all the antiques.
14:50Obviously, Real de Catorce,
14:52as I told you,
14:54is a place of holistic people.
14:56You know that the burning attracts the desert.
14:58It attracts people who come for spiritual reasons.
15:00They always offer to help us.
15:02We let ourselves be loved.
15:04When we entered,
15:06each of these rooms was a cellar.
15:08They were cellars.
15:10Now they are rooms.
15:12When we entered,
15:14it said Real de Catorce
15:16spiritual center.
15:18What did the sign say?
15:20Spiritual heritage of Mexico.
15:22Because of all that energy you told me?
15:24Yes, because
15:26I realized that
15:28the people of Real de Catorce,
15:30we have known that from our visitors,
15:32but we saw something more tangible and real.
15:34In 2008, we had the visit of the Tibetans.
15:36With the huicholes.
15:38It was very closed.
15:40There were 300 holistic people
15:42from all over the world.
15:44In 2014?
15:46No, in 2008.
15:48Because in 2013, you know that many...
15:50Yes, that was in 2008.
15:52And they came to announce
15:54that we form a parallel
15:56of energy with Tibet.
15:58And now the awakening and the energy
16:00and the power, the places of power,
16:02come to Latin America.
16:04Some things are happening
16:06and maybe the great awakening
16:08comes to us in Latin America.
16:10I lived in Miami
16:12and now I chose Tulum.
16:14And Mexico has, in all this energy movement
16:16that we are seeing,
16:18something very strong,
16:20spread through different parts of Mexico,
16:22even underground.
16:24That's right. Mexico is a big portal.
16:26Real de Catorce, you know,
16:28those Tibetans came,
16:30and they said,
16:32you form a parallel of energy
16:34with Tibet. That's why Real de Catorce
16:36has certain peculiarities.
16:38It's not a normal place.
16:40Many people who are perceptive, holistic,
16:42come, but I hope
16:44that all this movement of the world
16:46that is now being seen,
16:48is seeing interesting changes.
16:50You were going to tell me something about this door.
16:52I hadn't seen it.
16:54This is an original door
16:56that we already left here as a reserve.
16:58This one here is called Crisol.
17:00This is to melt silver.
17:02It was original.
17:04It has two sides,
17:06and this was to melt silver.
17:08It was called Crisol.
17:10This is an original door.
17:12This building dates from 1760,
17:14more or less,
17:16and here we leave it as a relic.
17:18And here I imagine it was where they brought the mines.
17:20Yes, they brought them there.
17:22This is the entrance.
17:24When we host artists,
17:26this is a secret access to leave.
17:28When Brad Pitt's movie was here,
17:30he always came out through here.
17:32Because here you hit the vehicle,
17:34and there was no way out.
17:36So this is an alternate exit
17:38for curious visitors.
17:40And you see,
17:42interesting antiquities have remained.
17:44For example, this by Miguel Hidalgo.
17:46This is not a portrait.
17:48I don't have the name of this right now.
17:50This is original.
17:52This is a print.
17:54This was used to compact books.
17:56Look, there was a print here.
17:58There were 20 newspapers
18:00that circulated daily in this town.
18:02Like 25,000 inhabitants?
18:04Imagine the cultural life.
18:06And where did they get the news?
18:08They got gossip.
18:10They had some newspapers
18:12that talked about music.
18:14There were others that talked about fashion.
18:16There were others that talked about mining,
18:18technical advances in mining,
18:20and others gossip about the town.
18:22So nothing has changed.
18:24Look, this used to be used
18:26to put water here.
18:28You put a jug down here,
18:30and it was the way grandmothers filtered the water.
18:32Have you tried it?
18:34Yes, I have.
18:36It's slow.
18:38You can put the jug here.
18:40And it's the most genuine way
18:42to drink pure water.
18:44Do you know what this stone is?
18:46It's a porous stone.
18:48It's called a filter stone.
18:50It's interesting.
18:52It's a technology like ours.
18:54Right now, the problem is the large population.
18:56That's one of the problems.
18:58Are these lamps original?
19:00Yes, this one is original.
19:02It's very thin.
19:04You have to stand like this.
19:06Look at me and don't touch me.
19:08This one is a little deteriorated.
19:10Did you see the TV?
19:12I brought that TV.
19:14It's beautiful.
19:16The stoves were here.
19:18Look.
19:20The oldest stove was that one.
19:22That was the austere one.
19:24Those were the very old stoves.
19:26And these are the modern ones.
19:28This was when the housewives
19:30were like, wow, we're in modernity.
19:32But the original one is that one.
19:34This is the original one.
19:36It's very simple.
19:38Look.
19:40It didn't have color.
19:42Obviously, you put firewood
19:44and everything.
19:46But this one is original.
19:48It's the same thing.
19:50You have a stove and you see them
19:52lying on the street.
19:54What was upstairs?
19:56We fixed upstairs
19:58because there were three places
20:00that were unfinished.
20:02Look at these furniture.
20:04These furniture were originally
20:06from the middle class,
20:08from the 14th.
20:10All the furniture from the upper class
20:12disappeared.
20:14But I saw the rooms with furniture
20:16from the upper class.
20:18If you look at them from the side,
20:20you can see the edges
20:22because they were hand-made.
20:241895.
20:26That's why when you saw me
20:28in the mirror a little while ago.
20:30Yes, you can see from the side
20:32that they were hand-made.
20:34These furniture are interesting.
20:36They were the austere furniture
20:38of the middle-class people.
20:40Imagine the upper class.
20:42Yes, that's right.
20:44Yes.
20:48For example, this photograph
20:50is very interesting
20:52because this was when the 14th
20:54put the tram through the tunnel.
20:56Is there light here?
20:58Yes, of course.
21:00The weather is beautiful.
21:02They told me it was very cold.
21:04In the morning it is cold,
21:06but inside it feels spectacular.
21:08These are photographs
21:10of the 14th's businessmen.
21:12This is outside a mine
21:14in Dolores Zompeta.
21:16You can see the businessmen
21:18in their clothes.
21:20Here they gave green light
21:22to the electric tram.
21:24I make a proposal to the government.
21:26Originally, the home tunnel
21:28went through a short-distance tram.
21:30Imagine how beautiful it would be
21:32to put the tram back on the 14th.
21:34That went through the tunnel
21:36where we entered?
21:38Yes, it was the electric machine
21:40that went through the tunnel.
21:42These technologies were already applied
21:44in the economic sunset of the 14th.
21:46It was when the economic death
21:48of the 14th was coming.
21:50They tried to do all that
21:52and then came the decadence.
21:54I don't know if it's correct
21:56what they told me.
21:58Supposedly, this part
22:00was going to be the capital.
22:02Originally, it was planned
22:04because the houses
22:06and all the economic opulence
22:08were going to be there.
22:10The 14th can only be sustained
22:12by mining.
22:14Right now, the water
22:16is struggling a lot.
22:18You know what the problem is?
22:20Since there is a very good
22:22tourism activity,
22:24the authorities should think
22:26about 30 or 40 years.
22:28That's our weakness.
22:30We think about the immediate.
22:32The water problem here
22:34has been the same for 30 years.
22:36We have to take care of the water
22:38and keep it very well.
22:40It's springtime.
22:42We don't have a well.
22:44It's just springtime.
22:46This has been a lack of vision.
22:48There are some girlfriends
22:50of the 14th.
22:52These were from 1915.
22:54These are 14-year-olds.
22:56They were here in small photos.
22:58We made some replicas of them.
23:00Those are people of the 14th.
23:02They had their opulence.
23:04Very good.
23:06Petra, do you have more to show?
23:08Not here in this house.
23:10Not so much.
23:12I will show you the basements
23:14on another trip.
23:16I don't know how to thank you.
23:18We said 15 minutes.
23:20Take your light, your spontaneity.
23:22You are wonderful.
23:24We all have to be connected.
23:26Thank you very much.
