Tour description

The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a celebration filled with colors, flowers, and food. People prepare to remember the dead through offerings.

Would you like to learn about the origins of this festival? On this tour, we'll discuss the pre-Columbian understanding of death and its rituals, as well as the journey to the underworld (Mictlán).

We'll discuss evangelization and how Catholic elements were integrated into the offering. We'll also explore how nationalism highlighted this celebration as a family tradition throughout Mexico.

We'll visit the traditional altar of the city's second largest market. We'll also see and taste sugar skulls, traditional sweets, mole, and marigold flowers.

We will walk through:

- Flower and fruit area

- Traditional altar

- Day of the Dead food area


If you want to know why Mexicans celebrate and mock death, then you'll love this tour. Also, if you've seen films like "Coco" or "James Bond - Spectre," you'll be fascinated.
