The talented Hugo Mendez of San Luis Potosi, Mexico created this video about the extraordinary Day of the Dead celebrations in the Huasteca region of San Luis Potosi state.

The region is dominated by agriculture, sugar cane fields. Its hot and humid, a contrast to the Altiplano high desert that covers the rest of the state. Due to its isolation, foreign tourists rarely get there. Its a beautiful region, full of waterfalls, warm turquoise rivers, some pyramids and some hot springs, and indigenous communities who continue traditional lives.
