After 57 days of marching across Mexico with a soccer ball balanced on his head, Juan Marquez Nieto arrived in the capital as part of a protest to call for peace in the country. He set out on November 23rd and traveled more than 1,200 miles to reach Mexico City.
He's part of a movement called "Uniting Wishes for Peace", who last year organized a march calling for the safe return of 43 missing students. He plans to continue his protest for peace with a march to the north of the country.
