Itinerary

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a festival that runs from October 31 to November 2 to celebrate and remember loved ones who have deceased. Although the festival is to honour those who have passed on, it is a festive and upbeat celebration rather than somber gathering. Families cook feasts and offer them by the graves of those who have passed to encourage them to come back and join in on the festivities. Oaxaca is one of the main hubs of celebrations for Day of the Dead – the cemetery vigils and street parades make this an experience not to miss! Stay: Hotel Aurora Oaxaca

Stop by a local market to learn about local traditions and ceremonial objects used during Day of the Dead celebrations. Stay: Hotel Aurora Oaxaca

Join in the celebrations during a Day of the Dead parade. Experience all that is going on in the zócalo or main square. Stay: Hotel Aurora Oaxaca

Enjoy free time to take part in the celebrations in the zócalo, spend the day checking out nearby artisan towns, or visit the ruins of Monte Albán. Stay: Hotel Aurora Oaxaca
