Iazua Larios, a vibrant Mexican actress, was born in the charming port of Tampico. From her early years, she was the cradle of her artistic inspiration, nurtured by the theatrical environment provided by her parents, both active members of a renowned theatre company.

On television, Iazua has shone as Malinche in “Carlos, Rey Emperador” for Televisión Española and in “El Cesar” for Telemundo. She also collaborated with the famous Colombian singer Juanes in the series of music videos for his album “Mis planes son amarte”.
