About this clip

Shot in 2019, this vintage film footage captures a desolate landscape in Los Cabos, Mexico, featuring a wide expanse of abandoned homes nestled on the sides of barren, ugly hills. The structures appear windowless and weathered, their condition ambiguous—possibly damaged or simply neglected. No people, vehicles, or movement are visible, emphasizing the eerie stillness of the scene. Dirt roads wind through the arid terrain, adding to the sense of isolation. The footage evokes a haunting, post-apocalyptic atmosphere, with the unknown status of the homes contributing to a sense of mystery and decay. This raw, unfiltered clip offers a stark look at forgotten settlements in a harsh environment.
