Hola Señor y señoras from Mexico City. I have flown here for a week of tacos and tequila with my YouTube friends Harald Baldr and Simon Wilson. Join me on what is bound to be some random drunken adventures.
Ask any resident of Mexico City where they would avoid visiting and the answer always come back: Tepito. A barrio of counterfeit markets and dark alleyways where the hoodlums run the streets.
Sinaloa; the word alone conjures images of cartels and violence. A place that anyone with an ounce of sanity would avoid, especially a bunch of tourists who would stand out like a sore thumb.
We all love Mexican food, right? Tacos, enchiladas, tequila...but whilst in a small village north of Guadalajara I ordered a local beverage of unidentifiable flavour...we decided to call it the Mexican blood pint.
After a journey down from the altitude of Mexico City, we finally reached the tropics of Sinaloa. Home to the Sinaloa Cartel it is a place we had been warned not to visit, but I wanted to see Sinaloa behind the headlines.
