Bravo Filming Locations
Cuernavaca is the lush capital of Mexico’s Morelos state, cradled by the Tepozteco Mountains south of Mexico City. The colonial city center features the 16th-century Palace of Cortés, former home of Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés and now a history museum with murals by Mexican artist Diego Rivera. Just southwest is Cuernavaca Cathedral, in a 1500s walled monastery complex with a mural depicting Mexico’s first saint.
Toluca is the capital of Mexico’s central State of Mexico. It sits at a high altitude and is known for its colonial architecture. The imposing Catedral de San José and the neoclassical Palacio Municipal overlook the main square, Plaza de los Mártires. Housed in a former marketplace, the Cosmovitral Botanical Garden has plants from around the world and dozens of stained-glass murals.
Bravo (1998)
Mexico's new president vows to attack the drug trade; in retaliation, his wife has already been assassinated. Carlos Bravo is a secret service agent: he's fired when the son of the president reports that Carlos has spent the night with the president's daughter. Carlos joins a Mariachi band to stay close to the president's ranch in Morelos. He's performing at the ranch when a drug lord invades with the help of the president's son, takes the president, his daughter, and many visiting dignitaries hostage, and demands the return of a huge shipment of cocaine that the government has confiscated. Carlos slips away from the hostages and begins a one-man rescue effort.
