Imagine walking into a building that looks like a futuristic crystal crashing into a historic mansion—and finding yourself face-to-face with a towering dinosaur skeleton. Welcome to the Royal Ontario Museum (or just ROM, if you're a local), one of Canada’s most mind-blowing treasure chests of history, culture, and science.

Forget everything you think you know about carnivals. Bright feathers, samba drums, glittery floats? You won’t find them here. Instead, picture this: sweaty bodies painted in black grease, primal howls, wooden masks, jungle drums, and dancing that feels more like an ancient exorcism than a parade. Welcome to Carnaval de Tenosique — the weirdest carnival in Mexico, maybe even the world.
