We will meet you at the meeting point early in the morning and then start the drive to the town of Mixquic which is around 1.5 hours away from Mexico City. Once there, you will witness the Day of the Dead celebration that takes place in the town every year. Mixquic locals enjoy this important event as they set out beautiful carpets of sawdust, cempasuchil (marigold) flowers, pre-Hispanic dances, and colorful altars in order to honor the deceased. On November 1, Mexico commemorates All Saints' Day, dedicated to remembering deceased children. On this date, you can see how preparations begin to welcome them, including offerings in the cemetery, the local fair with traditional dishes, music, and flowers that fill the atmosphere with color and life.
Come and see how the locals welcome their deceased relatives and friends in a totally unique ritual, an essential part of Mexico City's traditions.

Along with your guide you'll walk through the town of Mixquic, one of Mexico City's designated Barrios Magicos (magical neighborhoods), and learn about the importance of this day and how locals honor the dead with unique rituals on this holiday. You will truly experience and live the Mexican culture. You will also have the chance to buy traditional foods from local vendors. Take memorable pictures of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. You'll get a chocolate skull during the tour to savor and remember this day.

You'll return to Mexico City late in the evening to be dropped off at the same meeting point
