Itinerary
Day of the Dead takes place between October 31 and November 2 and is a celebration and remembrance of the deceased. Families will build private altars and bring large feasts to cemeteries, to be with the souls of the departed. It is believed that the souls will come back to visit and take part in the celebrations. Some of the “ofrendas” (altars) are very elaborate and include sugar skulls and marigold flowers. In most regions, the souls of infants and children are honoured on November 1. Adults are remembered on November 2. It is generally a festive rather than somber gathering. Stay: Hotel PF Suites
Get out and explore Mexico City by walking through the historic centre with the CEO. Stop by the Jamaica Market to chat with some vendors, and learn about Day of the Dead goods for sale. Visit the San Juan Market to check out food stalls and sample some delicious Mexican street food. Stay: Hotel PF Suites (B/L)
Today, experience the atmosphere of Dolores, Mexico’s largest cemetery. Just before Día de Los Muertos, the cemetery comes alive with vibrant altars, candlelit pathways, music, and families honouring their loved ones. It’s a unique opportunity to witness the traditions and heartfelt rituals that make this cultural celebration one of the most meaningful in Mexico. Stay: Hotel PF Suites (B)
In the morning travel to Xochimilco, a natural reserve where the farmlands of the ancient Aztec people were created with a system of “chinampas” and water channels. Witness how the inhabitants of Xochimilco integrate their unique natural elements and landscape into their Day of the Dead celebrations. Cruise along the channels in a traditionally decorated trajinera and learn more about the local history from a knowledgeable guide. Make a stop at one of the chinampas or floating gardens, and have an included meal before having time to decorate your faces with traditional make-up for the celebrations. The final stop of the day will be to Xochimilco ́s cemetery and the heart of Day of the Dead. Stay: Hotel PF Suites (B)
Take advantage of a free day to explore more of Mexico City and surroundings. Opt to visit the massive pyramids of Teotihuacán, check out the Frida Kahlo Museum, or join more of the festivities. Stay: Hotel PF Suites (B)
