00:00I'm in this beautiful beach of Oaxaca, which is actually called the Ventanilla Beach.
00:05So it's supposed to be, it's a really big rock that has a little square that somebody
00:11decided, you know what, let's call it the window beach.
00:14So that's the translation for it, Ventanilla Beach.
00:17So welcome, enjoy your day, and have an enjoyable morning.

04:31Oh, I almost took off my shoes, look.
04:33Thank God he told me, look, we start with the birds.
04:37Let's go quietly so as not to scare, or are you used to the noise?
04:41Let's go quietly so as not to scare, or are you used to the noise?
04:45What bird is that?
04:47What bird is that?
04:49No, and a huge crocodile.
04:51No, and a huge crocodile.
04:55No, we haven't had it so close, just in the boat.
04:57No, we haven't had it so close, just in the boat.
04:59It seems to me that it is one that we know as the glass eye.
05:01Why?
05:03Because it has, well, its left eye is injured.
05:07Well, they fight each other, right?
05:09Yes, they are territorial.
05:11And it doesn't eat the bird?
05:13Well, no, we've never seen it. Yes, it has come to kill them, but it has never tried to eat them.
05:17It's called zoopilot. It's a rapine bird.
05:19So maybe because of the same thing they are, that they also eat dead animals.
05:23So maybe because of the same thing they are, that they also eat dead animals.
05:25It will be the same.
05:27That was a good first start, right?
05:29Crocodile right there.
05:31So, if you like nature,
05:33So, if you like nature,
05:35They are like me, they do the tours of the towns that are the best.
05:37They are like me, they do the tours of the towns that are the best.
05:39How calm, well, they must have it well fed.
05:41How calm, well, they must have it well fed.
05:43For sure, right?
05:45So they don't feel like biting someone.
05:47Yes, well, what happens is that they eat animals that are in the environment,
05:49Yes, well, what happens is that they eat animals that are in the environment,
05:51such as birds, fish, snakes.
05:53And they've never had any problems?
05:55No, they are social crocodiles.
05:57No, they are social crocodiles.
05:59Yes, that's right.
06:01Yes, they have adapted to the place.
06:03Yes, they have adapted to the place.
06:05Coconuts, coconuts everywhere.
06:07Be careful not to drop one in their head.
06:21We can also find turtles,
06:23We can also find turtles,
06:25freshwater turtles of the Hykotea species.
06:27They are small, right?
06:29Yes, exactly, not so big.
06:31And a set of trees.
06:33And a set of trees.
06:35It is an ecosystem of mangroves,
06:37and we have two types of mangroves here in the window.
06:39It is the white mangrove and the red mangrove.
06:41And how do you know the difference between the mangroves?
06:43Well, mainly,
06:45their characteristics that one has with the other,
06:47apart from the size of the leaf and the color,
06:49is the type of roots,
06:51and it is characterized that it has air roots
06:53that come directly from the top down.
06:55We don't have them here,
06:57we have them a little later,
06:59but that's the first type of mangrove we have.
07:01Those trees are called white mangroves.
07:03And this is totally natural, right?
07:05They haven't done anything to it.
07:07Everything is natural, that's right.
07:09And the tour, I tell you,
07:11is to appreciate the species totally in their natural habitat.
07:13Everything is in wildlife, not in captivity.
07:15There is a peace,
07:17that we, because we are talking,
07:19it is very quiet,
07:21and you can hear the waves of the sea,
07:23you can hear the chirping of the birds.
07:25We call it Chaja.
07:27What do you call it?
07:29The sound? Yes, the sound of the birds.
07:31But we call it Chaja, right?
07:33Chaja, Chaja, but surely it has a name.
07:35I'll tell you when I do it.
07:37It's a Garza, yes.
07:39In Uruguay we call it Chaja.
07:41Each one has its own name.
07:43Yes, of course, it's a common name.
07:45I feel like putting my hand in,
07:47and the color that is due to the water,
07:49it is really because of a ...
07:51The mud, the earth.
07:53It is a color that produces the red mangrove.
07:55It is an ink called Tanino,
07:57which with the root, when it has contact with the water,
07:59produces all this coloration.
08:01Here, if I move with the paddle, look,
08:03you can see the coloration of the water.
08:05It's like a brown color, more or less.
08:07Yes, I don't know why I asked if it was drinkable.
08:09I hadn't seen it.
08:11Also a little bit of the blood of a tourist.
08:13A little mix there.
08:16Look, they're not going to tell you,
08:18so I'm not going to ask.
08:20No, but the truth is,
08:22we've seen a lot of boats coming out.
08:24A lot of people, I tell you,
08:26for the season and everything.
08:28Yes, that's right.
08:31Does the banana grow here?
08:33The banana, yes, yes,
08:35there are also in the parts of the banks.
08:37Yes, bananas,
08:39but I tell you, the main source here
08:41that people come to plant or produce
08:43is coconut, real palm,
08:45a little bit of jamaica too,
08:47as you saw right now.
08:49And they had, when we walked here,
08:51that when we come back,
08:53we're going to film it,
08:55but mezcal, they don't make mezcal here, right?
08:57There are some mezcal factories
08:59near here, like Rumbo Puerto Escondido,
09:01there are some, or Rumbo Guatulco,
09:03there are some too.
09:05We're going to bump into a boat of tourists.
09:07No, but there's a crocodile next to it,
09:09you saw it was close to the crocodile
09:11Yes, look.
09:13He's saying hello.
09:15Hello.
09:17The crocodile is going to say hello to the tourists
09:19and see if there are any good ones.
09:21Yes, they are already adapted
09:23to visitors, so
09:25sometimes they are a little curious
09:27and they come to see what it is.
09:29But as you can see,
09:31I tell them, yes, of course,
09:33they don't really attack,
09:35they are already used to the visitor,
09:37because we don't bother them either.
09:39It comes down from the mountain.
09:41See, we have a lot more to do.
09:43This is not a day, friends.
09:45Well, here we can observe
09:47the type of mangrove structure.
09:49Those are the red ones, right?
09:51They are characterized by the type of roots they have.
09:53They are aerial roots,
09:55so that's what characterizes
09:57a red mangrove to the other type of mangrove,
09:59which is white.
10:01These are, there are many in Tulum, yes.
10:03He's going to give us a caress.
10:05Hello, thank you for welcoming us.
10:07Yes, yes.
10:09These roots are the ones that
10:11connect, watch out,
10:13to the ground.
10:15Now there is a tree.
10:17There is nothing else.
10:19They connect to the ground, I'm going to try to get it out like this.
10:21Here we are going to intern a little
10:23in the mangrove area and we are going to find
10:25some iguanas like the ones we have there.
10:29They are some iguana eaters.
10:31They are given a space to provide
10:33them with a little food and we can observe them
10:35a little more at a short distance.
10:37They already know, look, they already know.
10:39Put one, two, whatever you like.
10:41Get closer to the board.
10:43Look, look, look,
10:45ready to eat now.
10:51It's a mother and a daughter, right?
10:53Well, no, not really.
10:55It's a different age type.
10:57This one will be about a year, a year and a half,
10:59and this one is a little older.
11:01Let's talk to the big one who stayed with me.
11:05Let's go.
11:09She's happy, huh?
11:11Look at the whole leaf.
11:15How cute.
11:17How nice that they have gotten used to people.
11:19That is a type of ...
11:21Is it male?
11:23No, look up here.
11:27That is the male and as I was telling you,
11:29right now they turn orange, brown
11:31and what they do is become more attractive
11:33for them.
11:35In a few words, they get handsome.
11:37That is, of four women there is a male.
11:39Yes.
11:41They are all passing by.
11:43But they eat these leaves too, right?
11:45Yes, they also eat the tender sprout of the mangrove leaf.
11:47The thick one, usually not.
11:49And this leaf that we are giving them,
11:51it comes from the beach, all over the beach.
11:53That's why they love it.
11:55Yes, so it's called a turtle leaf and it's a delicacy for them.
11:57There's a male, look.
11:59Yes.
12:02Don't be scared.
12:04Now you know which side the iguana pecks.
12:06Which side?
12:08It's a saying here,
12:10it's a saying, right?
12:12And many say when there is one option or another,
12:14many of us say that, like saying,
12:16you know which side the iguana pecks.
12:18In other words, in one way or another, you can always do things.
12:20It's a Mexican saying.
12:22Yes, yes, it's good. It's going to fall.
12:24Don't let it fall, then who will grab it?
12:26Yes, it's the type of green iguana.
12:28The green iguana is a herbivorous species,
12:31it feeds on lettuce, cabbage, papaya, mango.
12:33Here, naturally, they come to eat mangrove leaves,
12:35tender shoots, flowers, fruits.
12:39Of course, they are super happy that you come
12:41and give them this plant,
12:43because they don't go that far, right?
12:45Yes, that's right.
12:47But how nice, never, I mean,
12:49Miami is full of iguanas everywhere,
12:51and in some places, yes, you have the big ones,
12:53you see, in the wood where the boats come from,
12:55because people get used to it,
12:57and people get used to it,
12:59and eating natural,
13:01not food that you get from a restaurant,
13:03like they do there.
13:05How nice.
13:07In the community, they are in their habitat.
13:09Later, there are more,
13:11but right now, in February,
13:13they start laying their eggs,
13:15and they lay their eggs on the shore of the beach
13:17or the shore of the lagoon.
13:19They get to the beach?
13:21Yes, they get there.
13:23On the way, they have predators,
13:25like birds, eagles.
13:27They are going to lay their eggs.
13:29Yes, they lay 40.
13:31And the crocodiles eat them?
13:33Also, on the way, sometimes they fall into the water or something,
13:35and if they find them, they eat them.
13:37Poor thing, look, there is one eating lettuce.
13:39There are several, wow.
13:41Goodbye beautiful hills.
13:43Yes, and the red mangrove,
13:45all this is characterized
13:47by the type of roots it has.
13:49Yes, that's why I got confused there, but well.
13:51Yes, well,
13:53they also have a type of function,
13:55like that type of trees,
13:57apart from the fact that, I tell you,
13:59they are major carbon dioxide catchers,
14:01practically the lungs of the planet,
14:03because they also have other types of environmental functions,
14:05such as absorbing all kinds of pollution,
14:07which many times comes directly from the rivers,
14:09and all that pollution,
14:11or chemical,
14:13is absorbed by the roots.
14:15They purify, when they absorb,
14:17they become natural chemicals,
14:19producing a red ink in the water,
14:21which is also what I explained to you a while ago.
14:23Take care of the mangroves.
14:25Yes, exactly.
14:27Ah, they are these, I have seen them.
14:29Yes.
14:31And this is planted?
14:33Yes, what we do is collect,
14:35well, take the brown part,
14:37in a part of the land, in a bag with fertilizer,
14:39and we inject it, we connect it.
14:41Yes, there, and I usually tell you,
14:43every day, water, water, water,
14:45like other types of plants,
14:47until the top plant starts to grow,
14:49a sprig, and grows one meter,
14:51Does it grow on the ground alone, or do you have to come and put it in the water?
14:53Well, later, you have to pass it to the water,
14:55it is an aquatic plant,
14:57but it does not have to be submerged inside,
14:59it has to be above, because if not, it drowns too,
15:01that's right, and that's what we use
15:03to make a mangrove reforestation.
15:05In the work that is done,
15:07there are goals,
15:09and a total amount of 126,000 plants
15:11have to be met to reforest 57 hectares,
15:13of the 75 that Ventanilla has.
15:15But they have years to do that, right?
15:17Well, this is the last year
15:19of work, right?
15:21Then comes the next year of repositioning of plants
15:23and monitoring of the place.
15:25Well, a little detail, right?
15:27In Miami there are many crocodiles,
15:29and it happens a lot that people's dogs
15:31are eaten, but I didn't know this, tell me.
15:33Yes, well,
15:35the favorite attraction of crocodiles,
15:37or rather, their favorite food,
15:39here, are the dogs.
15:41If a dog, so to speak,
15:43reaches the edge of the lagoon to drink water
15:45and gets wet, or simply just
15:47the crocodile becomes irresistible
15:49and goes and grabs it, right?
15:51On the shore.
15:53I imagine it smells it from far away, right?
15:55Yes, practically, well, I tell you,
15:57it attracts so much attention that it goes,
15:59it goes down and grabs it,
16:01it doesn't eat it instantly,
16:03what it does is grab it,
16:05drowns it and swallows it,
16:07and takes it away.
16:09And well, they like the smell of wet dogs too.
16:11Of course, when the dog gets wet,
16:13it smells very, very, very strong.
16:15No, leave them next to the water.
16:17And here we do not allow the visitor
16:19to board a boat with dogs,
16:21we always ask them to leave them in charge
16:23at the reception, a companion or a family member,
16:25but not as a precaution, nothing has ever happened.
16:27And we don't want it to be the first time.
16:29Don't bring your dog.
16:33Also, the way crocodiles
16:35manage to adapt to this type of water,
16:37which is salty,
16:39is that they have eyelids in their eyes
16:41that open and close laterally.
16:43And these eyelids have glands,
16:45what that gland does is remove all that salt
16:47that they caught from this type of water.
16:49Well, from there the famous expression
16:51also forms, crocodile tears,
16:53which is totally false.
16:55Crocodiles don't cry,
16:57and well, you also have to be crying.
16:59That's how we broke the secret.
17:03Look how interesting.
17:05That's why that expression is used,
17:07many times.
17:09Crocodile tears.
17:11Have you heard it?
17:13Crocodile tears.
17:15Cry crocodile tears.
17:17It would be like that, right?
17:19Yes.
17:21Well, that's how we are also
17:23getting to the final part of our walk,
17:25hoping you liked it,
17:27that the little information given,
17:29the little that nature showed us,
17:31was enough of our liking
17:33and to reflect a little.
17:35I loved it, I hope you liked it.
17:37In addition, the explanations they gave,
17:39well Miami, the mangroves are normal,
17:41but the Everglades, right?
17:43But a lot of information they give you here
17:45that they didn't tell me there,
17:47so excellent.
17:49But the tour does not end here,
17:51we continue to show you a little
17:53of the local plants.
18:09Let's take a break and come back.

19:13Bienvenidos a Ventanilla
19:15and the reason it's called Ventanilla
19:17is because you can see a window,
19:19so they said, what do we call the place?
19:21Well, Playa Ventanilla,
19:23it is precisely where the sea ends
19:25and the lagoon begins.
19:29Well friends, we have
19:31the main stage, the VIP, the crocodile. So tell me, let's see, what do you know about his behavior?
19:37What would he be doing now? Because it's getting sunny and almost, more or less, he's not, right?
19:41Well, yes, it's getting sunny. As they are cold-blooded reptiles, they need to regulate the temperature of their body.
19:47So he's not very smart, because here you have full sun, we tell you.
19:50Well, maybe, yes.
19:52Juanito, more down, more back.
19:54Yes, it's the same, it's a way when they open their jaws, what they do is pull hot air.
19:59It's faster and more effective to regulate their temperature, what they do is pull all the air.
20:03As they live on the ground, all the mud is pulled inwards.
20:07And this bird, like, they always follow him, right?
20:09Yes, it's a rapine bird.
20:11But for some reason he follows him, why does he follow him?
20:13Many times, between those two, they communicate.
20:16If he is outside or hunting, he also approaches him because he knows that there is food or there are remains of the food.
20:21They share.
20:22Exactly.
20:23Oh, how cute.
20:24And it also appears, also when the zoopilots are there, the crocodile also arrives.
20:26But he doesn't eat from his mouth, right?
20:28Of course not.
20:29It's very good.
20:30Well.
20:31They already have to name them.
20:32Does this one have a name?
20:33This one seems to be the one we saw on the part of the walk, we call it the glass eye.
20:37Glass eye?
20:38Because the eye is already damaged, it is hurt by the fights and it shines, it crystallizes.
20:44That's why it's called that.
20:45And this one we have here, this one is from behind, look.
20:48And it's there in the water, right?
20:50Seeing.
20:51I also see you.
20:53Well, friends, let's continue.
20:54Where are we going now?
20:55We are going to the nursery right now to know what mangrove plant production is.
20:58Excellent.
20:59Let's go to the nursery.
21:10Well, friends, we continue in our last part of the tour, which is here in the nursery.
21:13Janicio was telling us a little about all the work they do to maintain these mangroves.
21:18So here we are.
21:19Yes, well, right now we are here in the red mangrove nursery.
21:22In this place, it is about producing what is the plant.
21:25What we do is collect seeds inside the lagoon, as I showed you a while ago.
21:29We bring them here, we plant them, we take care of the monitoring, the growth process.
21:34In a year, more or less, the plant grows 1 meter, 1.20 meters.
21:37These have a year then?
21:38Approximately.
21:39In fact, there is a date out there.
21:4012-18 January.
21:41Yes, then they are exactly one year old and then they go to be transplanted, depending on the size.
21:47So what we see here is basically the seed you showed me.
21:51From here on, let's say, it starts to grow.
21:54Exactly.
21:57And well, here I tell you, in three years, the total amount of 126,000 plants has to be produced,
22:02plus repositioning to be able to have the complete project.
22:07And this supports them, what you are saying, the government gives them support to do this too.
22:11Yes, the CONAFOR, the National Forestry Commission, a government agency here,
22:15provides us with the resources for the work.
22:18Well, if you want to invite them to come here to visit them, there you have your farewell.
22:22Well, yes, we invite them here to get to know the community, the project, the route.
22:29Here we are a community cooperative, normally we make it up of a group of young people,
22:33and we are committed to the environment.
22:36So that they come to see crocodiles, birds, iguanas, and well, we take all the health measures.
22:42And the best of all is that they are all in their natural environment.
22:46I think that is priceless, as they say in English, it has no price.
22:49Well, thank you very much for your time, you have been super kind, and thank you for all the information.
22:53And we will return, friends, we continue our journey.
22:56Oaxaca, God.
23:02We are going to a break and we will be back.

23:16A Todo México with Yenis Cordamaglia for Miami TV.
23:26We continue in A Todo México.
23:32Very good friends, so on the route from where we started and parked the car,
23:36we have all these mixes of mezcal, the craziest of all.
23:41Look at this, look at this.
23:46It says that they put it alive in the mezcal, basically so that they get drunk and the poison comes out.
23:52But everything has a reason, everything has a purpose.
23:55And for that we are going to talk to the lady who is here.
23:58How are you?
23:59Good, good.
24:00Let's see, tell me what you have and more than anything I am interested in why you do it, right?
24:05Because it tells me that it has its health benefits.
24:08It is a natural fermentation, this is Jamaica wine, for example, it is very typical of here.
24:13A natural fermentation of Jamaica, honey and piloncillo.
24:15It is for after eating as a digestive or in the mornings for breakfast to clean the stomach.
24:19It starts to ferment under the ground in clay pots for six months and produces its own natural alcohol.
24:25Six months.
24:26Six months.
24:27Also the liquor, the difference of the liquor is that it has a little mezcal and the mezcal with marijuana is to make you drunk and pacheco.
24:33Both.
24:34Just like that, two in one.
24:36Yes, and the scorpion, I put them alive and they release the poison inside the mezcal.
24:40Do you do it?
24:41Yes.
24:42How do you do it?
24:43Well, they are here between the garbage, between the mountains.
24:45But how do you grab it so it doesn't bite you?
24:47You have to know how to grab it from the tail well and it gets inside the bottle.
24:51Then it releases the poison, helps to prevent and fight cancer and good blood circulation.
24:56You have already tried it here, right?
24:57Yes, it is very common here.
24:59And how long does it take to drown, poor thing?
25:01Like three minutes to die.
25:03Three minutes, or they kill you or drown in the alcohol.
25:06Well, excellent, I congratulate you.
25:07Let's see, I think they have some questions, so I won't stop you.
25:10Well, so you see, if you want to support the local community,
25:13basically what they do the most is the jamaica flower,
25:16which we saw when we were entering.
25:18But very interesting, I think I have not seen this anywhere else.
25:21And well, seeing a scorpion, they usually put it as a decoration, right?
25:26But it's good.
25:27Let's clean the blood.
25:28Well, thank you very much.
25:29Goodbye.
25:30Yes, goodbye.
