🇲🇽 CULIACÁN, SINALOA, Mexico - Welcome! Culiacán isn't Mexico's most dangerous city based on homicide statistics, although it is often thought of as such due to its association with the Sinaloa cartel. In this 2021 Mexico Travel video, I'll show you why you're wrong about Culiacán.
It's not often you would see a foreigner in Culiacán, Sinaloa, which is just a few hours from Mazatlán, the popular beach destination. In fact, I've not need a single other native English speaker since I've been here! This video is the first part of 4 videos from Culiacán in which we cover some things to do in Culiacán (including the Chapel of Jesús Malverde, a well-known bandit and patron Saint of drug trafficking), some of the Mexican food in Culiacán such as sushi Sinaloa style (in part 2!), talk about some overall reflections of Culiacán as well as a one-take 10-minute walkaround Centro with no talking, music or anything, in 4k!
MUSIC - (Epidemic Sound)

If you're thinking about moving to Mexico or becoming one of the increasing number of expats in Mexico, your choices aren't limited to popular areas like Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. You might even be looking for off the beaten track Mexico. You might ask the questions, "Is Mexico Safe?" or, "Is Mexico dangerous. Sinaloa is a state that, granted, you'll need to be able to speak Spanish in, but the city and state has so much to offer, just as much as those other places!

Hi everyone! Just so you are aware, I know that Culiacan is NOT considered to be the 'most dangerous city' in Mexico by homicide statistics - it's purely that it is a common Google and KZfaq search term and that's how KZfaq titles, keywords and search engine optimisation work if I want the video to be recommended to viewers. Note that this is a VERY POSITIVE video about the city! *Have you been to Culiacan?* You can check out the following if you like! - My website - www.thetaoofdavid.com/ Music used in videos - www.thetaoofdavid.com/youtube-music Merch site - www.thetaoofdavid.com/the-tao-of-david-shop Book English lesson - www.thetaoofdavid.com/book-english-lesson ¡Hola a todos! Para que lo sepan, sé que Culiacán NO es considerada la 'ciudad más peligrosa' de México por las estadísticas de homicidios; es simplemente que es un término de búsqueda común en Google y KZfaq y así es como los títulos de KZfaq, las palabras clave y la optimización de motores de búsqueda trabajar si quiero que el video sea recomendado a los espectadores. ¡Tenga en cuenta que este es un video MUY POSITIVO sobre la ciudad! * ¿Has estado en Culiacán? *

From the cathedral to the Malverde shrine, from Tostilocos to ice cream, to families playing at the plaza next to signs of missing people, Culiacán as Mexico is a bizarre mix of realities: it isn’t unsafe, nor it is safe… it is just real. I might be wrong but one thing I love about Mexico is that we don’t pretend to be what we are not, we don’t hide it… if people are interested to see the real side of Mexico, they will. We have pretty places and run down places, and the look of them has no connection with good or bad people. And I just love that judging others isn’t as easy here as anywhere else. You got to know a place, you got to know the people to know… and you David prove that over and over with your videos. Thanks hun. I hope you feel better.

I´m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Culiacán. It´s a bit of a shame that you visited the city just after one of the worst droughts in many years ended, since lots of the green that characterizes the city was lost. The big and nice rivers were almost dry (Thats why the boats were abandoned) and most of the pretty parks and gardens turned into mud and dirt. But anyhow, I am very excited to see the next part of this series, specially about the food in Culiacán. I´m happy to see a foreigner visiting the city, as you said, Culiacán is not a popular tourist destination at all, and it´s always refreshing to see and listen to someone else´s perspective about it. Greetings!

Mexico as always been a country with open arms but remember that's not a weakness, its respect and a loving country. Yes Mexico is very dangerous, but the world is more dangerous, you just have to keep yourself in line and be careful what you say and do.

David, you can feel indirectly the the Cartel presence in Culiacan with the disappeared lists on that wall. The Malverde experience is strange, out of the ordinary for sure, some people seemed to have faith in this cult and it is hard to judge. But as you pointed out, there are plenty of things in Culiacan one can enjoy. One could almost say that Culiacan is in a class of its own.

@warreneckels4945 3 жыл бұрын

If you are referring to the tablas saying something like "Gracias por Favores Recibidos", it means that somebody prayed to Jesus Malverde for something, received it, and credits Malverde for the favor granted. There is a tradition of tablas for officially recognized Catholic saints, the Virgin Mary and Christ when they are credited with a favor received. Santa Muerte is also prayed to, usually for the ordinary things, but sometimes for things that the worshipper does not feel comfortable requesting of the traditional Catholic saints or from the Trinity.

I don't know if you got it wrong or not, but Malverde wasn't originally associated with drug cartels, he was a bandit, yes, but he worked alone and did give to the poor. When he died he became this figure a lot of locals (regular people not involved in crime at all) looked to in hard times, most old people asked for or know someone who asked for favors to Malverde and can tell you of his miracles, they really believe in him like other catholics believe in la Virgen. Years later drug traffickers and other criminals also turned to Jesus Malverde as a "Santo patrón", and yes, that might be bizarre, but the latter I don't think so (yes, I'm a local so I'm biased hehe). Just wanted to clear that out, overall your take as a foreigner was really nice. Qué bueno que te gustó Culiacán! Ojalá regreses :)

@davidostrowski679 3 жыл бұрын

Yep thanks for the info Julián, I wasn't referring to Malverde being originally associated with cartels. I think it was difficult to articulate at the time because it was so fascinating! So I might not have explained as well as you in your comment! Thanks for watching, I really enjoyed Culiacán - hopefully people who see my videos there will now not have a negative perception!!

@davidostrowski679 3 жыл бұрын

You have to understand that filming and regular travel are completely different. Having someone 'show me around' does not work in a video. All the things I included were recommended by Instagram followers from Culiacan so there's not much else I can do. I specifically said at the beginning of this video that this is the first of 4 videos. The first one is normally first impressions. Also, I don't film everything I do, for example La Lomita and many other food locations. Also, those things were interesting to me, eg Jesus Malverde. I don't have to do the things that interest others, this is my life!

Been to Culiacan a few times, drove there once on my way to Puerta Vallarta, enjoyed it, the food is great, also I would not believe anything the U.S. Media says, they sell fear, sensationalism and exaggeration, I would be more concerned about the dangerous city streets in the U.S. then Mexico, less then 50 U.S. citizens have been murders per year in Mexico "most believed involved in criminal activities" in the U.S. 15.000 Americans are murdered yearly in the U.S. a U.S. citizen is safer in Mexico

Culiacan is very safe. My family has lived there all there lives. They are all teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers , entrepauneurs, etc....They all have good lives and are very happy. People here, are very friendly, family oriented, hospitable and giving. The nar.... mind their own business. As a matter of fact, they are gone from Sinaloa and operate in other states. It is like any other place, mind your own business and that's it.
