FASCINATING SNAKE HOUSE IN MEXICO CITY | QUETZALCOATL'S NEST
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ม.ค. 2018
- Welcome to one of the coolest homes I've ever stayed in. We first came across this place on Airbnb, and couldn't believe something so amazing was so close to Mexico City. It is a series of 10 apartments build into the back of a giant serpent. It's the coolest house I've ever seen, if you don't mind living in a snake god.
It was created by Javier Senosiain, a Mexican architect specializing in Organic Architecture. This philosophy of construction blends seamlessly with nature, so they both work together in harmony. This location is called El Nido de Quetzalcoatl (The Nest of Quetzalcoatl) because of the giant snake head that is the centre piece of the location. When Javier first decided to build the park, he came across a giant cave whose opening resembled the gaping mouth of a snake. This inspired him to continue the theme, and great a giant 18 hectare park, with 13 snakes twisting through it. Despite everything he has created here, the valley in which everything is hidden, is vastly untouched. His constructions are guided using the natural shape of the land.
As far as things to do in Mexico, this is an absolute must. I have never seen anything like this in all of my years as a travel vlogger. It is truly an oasis hidden away in Naucalpan, just outside Mexico City.

TO VISIT:
At this time you have two options. A private tour or staying in the apartment. Our contact for both of these is Patricia. Her email: mopacastillo(at)gmail.com
The easiest, and which that allows you the most freedom is to stay there overnight. It is a 10 person apartment, with a recommended minimum of 2 nights. This can sometimes be negotiated depending on the time of year. Get some friends together and split the cost. It is worth it.

What a cool spot! Mexico City is full of surprises...
I'm sure you know a few as well man. Sending you a message
The New Travel 8
Javier Senosiain was my teacher in college! Great spot.
Mexico is one of the most ancient countries in the world. Of course, it have a lot of surprises.
@@nxonl2009 you totally right Mexico has a lot of wonderfu and unicl things in the world and all over Mexico. You find a lot of interesting ,magic thind3. Regards from Mexico
OMG, i never think that something like that exists! 😻😻😻
Unbelievable right?
You mean you never THOUGHT? Otherwise you don’t make sense.
Wow Mexico is Just an Amazing country...this place is so beautiful...!!!
That's exactly what I think too!
Yes it is Mexico its magic. Welcome to Mexico all
That place is surreal! I can't believe it's someone's home!
There are 10 apartments, and one is currently for rent if you’re looking 😉
Mike Corey Ha ha, maybe someday. I hope to go on a sailing adventure in a few months. If it's at least half as good as your adventures, I'll be happy!
RENT PRICE IS $1000,000.PER MONTH.
It is a shame! I live in Mexico City and never heard of this place!!! Thanks, for sure I will go and visit!
I’ll be making a second video to show inside the apartments!
Looking forward to it!
Sólo investiga un poco sobre la obra de Senosiain, sin embargo esta es su obra maestra, pero tiene muchas construcciones muy interesantes. Saludos.
MeláhuacTv sí, mira, me vale treinta y dos kilos de verga tu chairismo.
MeláhuacTv por qué tanta desconfianza?
Baby!!! Huicholes are from Jalisco, Nayarit,Zacatecas and Durangooooo!!!!!🤪🤣🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🧐🤤😄🙈 lol Great adventure. I just can’t get enough of this place.
No son huicholes ese es un apodo, ellos se auto denominan cultura Wixarika (o wirrarika), en plural se dice Wirraritari.
Wixarika significa "persona de corazón profundo que ama el conocimiento" y repito Huichol es un apodo o sobre nombre, hay que respetar su auto denominación.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! This video is amazing! I watcha lot of TH-cam traveler vlogs but this has to take the cake. I love it. Love the uniqueness of your channel. Keep crushing it.
Cheers man! I try and find the craziest things I can. This one was a highlight even for me!
I have to agree with you. It's amazing!
Qué emocionante entrar a esa cueva oscura y luego encontrarte bajo esa cúpula colorida, con sonidos de agua corriendo...
Yo no te he dicho nada respecto a la inmigración, lo único que escribí fue lo lindo de ese centro cultural. Saludos.
MeláhuacTv tu comentario está fuera de lugar no entendí nada asta pereza da leer tanta estupidez
This place is really amazing!
It’s so crazy you can stay there too
Wow. El Nido de Quetzalcoatl has to be one of the most stunning locations I've ever seen anyone visit on TH-cam. It's gorgeous! I'd never heard of it before, but the way you filmed it and told its story made me want to learn more about it, and visit it someday myself. And I love the concept of organic architecture, which I also had never heard of. It's incredible how many gems like this are hidden around the world, and how so few of us know they're even there. Fascinating. Brilliant content, as usual, Mike!
This was a great adventure for us. I had tried many times to get access, and so happy it finally worked!
The look of pure joy when your girlfriend saw the greenhouse for the first time was so beautiful. 💖
WOW! Thanks for the smile, stranger!! 😉😊
Ugohigh oh.... um..... oops....😅
Mike Corey there’s a few negative comments I hope you ignored .... there’s haters and racist people in every race ... thanks for your wonderful videos ....you are a great story teller and the way you edit those videos .... wow !....a Mexican fan
Thanks so much. If you do anything in life that's a bit different there will be haters. it is encouragement you are doing something right. If you don't have haters then you need to be more yourself. Lots more Mexico videos coming up!
I thought that this place is perfect, then I saw mineral kingdom.. omg.. more than perfect!
Greetings from Poland :)
I knowww and it was all for us. No one else!
That place is absolutely beautiful. 🖤😍
Thanks for taking us there, what a neat place. I remember the evening of the first day I was so amazed I got lost in the plant kingdom and returned when they closed the first gates to the nest. Not to mention the Mezcal session at night on the snake's head talking about TH-cam. haha. Miss u guys! :)
Man, good times on top of that Snake head with you!
Stunning to say the least. How incredible it must have been to be involved in creating such a masterpiece of the senses. I think it's good to preserve the ambience of serenity by not open to public first. As time goes on and they finish project, yes share this incredible piece of art to the world. Mariannela has such a beautiful smile. Stay full of life girl. Great work Mike
Cheers Mike. Exploring this place was full of surprises. I only visited half the park in this video. We ran out of time. Can you believe that?
It's gorgeous, the green place my favorite. Amazing place. Thanks I loved it.
The grass amphitheater near the end?
Amazing place!! I did’t know it is in my City! So art noveau! Definitly i’ll plan a visit with my friends! Thanks for showing all these places of mexico !
Wow. Sorry that's all I can say. Thank you for taking us with you !
Wow im mexican and i had never heard of this place before, thanks to speak so beautifuly about it, good luck in all your trips.
All of Mexico is so beautiful!
😲🤤😨 WOOOW NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLACE 😍😍😍😍
So wild right?
This place is amazing, it was so extremely calming to watch. The best part was when you guys walked into the room that was shaped like the fibonacci spiral it was just breathtaking.
Exactly. Imagine living there! There are 9 apartments with families. I would walk through the greenhouse everyday
Mike Corey, living there would be like living in a dream. You would never get bored of being there you mind would be so a piece.
This is truly the most breathtaking place I’ve ever seen. New bucket list trip unlocked
Ohmy, that’s a beautiful place and this is a beautiful video. Cheers from Finland. Want to go to Mexico!
I want to go to finland!
You are welcome any time.
Welcome to Mexico to the most surreal country arround the world Mexico = Magical
GRACIAS TOTALES!! USTEDES NE HAN ENSEÑADO MAS DE MI MEXICO QUE OTROS MEDIOS... GADU LOS BENDICE! QUE ASI SEA!...
A place like that is every child's dream. Heck, its everyones dream.
It totally is. We couldn't even show you the full place.
WOW... Speechless, I feel like I've just seen Paradise.
AMAZING architecture, so well integrated to the environment, It looks so futuristic or should I say so ancient???? I don't know hahaha, but certainly out of this era!!!
Cannot believe it's that close to Mexico City! AMAZING

Kateri Burnett Thank You!!!!💚😘
Im a born American , but so proud of the wonders Mexico City has, love it . Theres always a positive to everything no matter how ugly it can be. This brings back memories of my youth when I explored Mex City in the 80s.
I've never tried LSD before but this is probably what it looks like. Amazing!!!
Where is your girlfriend from.
Thank you for taking us there it's beautiful
A special tour, just for my crew here ;)
i love how the girl shows off the views, so cute and funny!
She's so fun right?
My country is soo beautiful.... its not all cartels, crime, and murder.... like the media portrays and many believe :( .. just like any other place, there is crime.. but Mexico is one of the most beautiful countries there is.. Many ppl leave US to leave there. Thank you so much for showing the world how incredibly beautiful places are in my gorgeous Mexico. :)
Well worth the wait. Enjoyed the camera work.
Posted it a couple days late. But had to make it perfect
Wow what an amazingly creative beautiful place thankyou for taking us with you guys! Threw your channel one thing I have learned is Mexico has some very beautiful places in it. I loved the green house, the caves and also the snakes head where you showed all the different colors of it and listening to Mariannela explain to us about the culture/story about quetzalcoatl's nest. Very well put together video :) I have yet to be disappointed by you Mike! Thank you for sharing!
P.S. expierences over possessions!
Kick the grrrriiinndd :]

That place looks insane....almost looks unreal!
Absolutely beautiful! Great video!
I've been watching this video like 100 times it's amazing that museum!!
this is the BEST!!! ever!!! in all of your travel vlogs,MIKE...
Wow, wow, double wow. What an amazing place. I LOVE that "green house". It must be like walking into Willy Wanka's factory everywhere you go. I must go there. When do they think they will finish it?
The greenhouse was the best part for me too. They still have a way to go, but you can visit!
From Naucalpan to the World!
It's a world class attraction
Correction: the huicholes are from Jalisco and NAyarit , not from oaxaca, keep it up, your videos are amazing
Thanks for that! We’ll remember next time
El Balanzaurio im sorry im sorry! My bad 🙈🤪🤓
Corrección, no son huicholes ese es un apodo, ellos se auto denominan cultura Wixarika (o wirrarika), en plural se dice Wirraritari
I had been waiting in anticipation for this video. WoW! That's all I can say WoW!
That’s all I could say too. But then realized that would be a boring vlog...
Mike Corey 😂😂😂😂😂😂
