Mexican Village Life - 1958

From the Internet Archives – Public Domain
Willard Hahn travels to the village of San Diego de Tecoltepec, 6 miles from Toluca. He focuses on the harvesting of maguey juice, the washing of clothes in-stream, and the town’s water cistern, as the village has no running water. The villagers board a beautiful old bus to take their goods to the nearby market in Toluca, and walk home to avoid paying the fare of several centavos.

    Enjoyed this film very much. I visited the market of Toluca in 1963 while adventuring through Mexico. On later visits to Mexico I have seen that the beautiful culture and ingenuity of the Mexican people, that this film potrays,can still be observed, enjoyed and marveled at. Betty
