This place completely messes with the laws of physics – and people’s heads
We head now (not literally) to Mexico’s Xenses sensory park in Playa del Carmen, courtesy of TikTok user @meaningfulmama.
The whole place messes with people’s perceptions with a very clever use of deceptive angles, mirrors and unexpected perspectives. Think the fairground crooked house, but on a much larger scale.
Check this out.

I had this same experience on one of my hikes in Glacier National Park. Your brain sees it a certain way and it messes with your equilibrium when you try to walk the way your brain thinks it should.
