One of Mexico’s most enduring icons is the masked Lucha Libre professional wrestler. Fortunately for you, Mexico City offers opportunities to witness these melodramatic high-flying athletes several nights a week. You don’t have to know anything about wrestling (or even a lick of Spanish) to thoroughly enjoy yourself as the colorful performers leap around the ring, knocking each other senseless. The pure, mad energy of the actively participating crowd is half the fun. For all the excitement (and quite a bit of comedy) an evening of Lucha Libre provides, it remains a legitimate component of Mexico’s culture, with a dynamic and complicated history and plenty of deadly serious fans.
