Mecatlan Veracruz, Mexico is a small municipality in the Sierra of Papantla. The traditional indigenous dress is disappearing slowly. The fiesta costume is used during festivals. The day to day costume is used mainly by older generations.Robert Freund10/31/2007

These women from Mecatlan were photographed at the Cumbre de Tajin a festival celebrating the Totonacan Culture. Later I went to the town and recorded the village. When in the town I noticed that only the older generations still used traditional dress.
