Papantla Flyers return to Puerto Vallarta

The Papantla Flyers are one of the biggest attractions on the Malecon. Five flyers climb a 50-foot pole dressed in their traditional attire. One of them plays the flute while seated at the top of the pole, while the other four drop headfirst, hanging only by their ankles from a rope.

The Papantla Flyers spin bravely and dizzyingly around the pole until they reach the ground.
