A visual documentation of the Volador ceremony, a significant ritual among the Nahuas and Totonacos, is captured through a series of photographs. The images depict the intricate process of the 'Volador de Dos Danzantes' and 'Volador de Cuatro Danzantes,' showcasing the ceremonial flight from a tall mast, often performed near archaeological sites like El Tajín in Veracruz. The photographs, taken by Guy Stresser-Péan between 1951 and 1964, highlight the cultural significance and continuity of this ancient tradition, providing a rare visual record of its execution during key moments, such as the erection of the ceremonial mast and the landing among tombs.
