Day of the Dead Festival – Oaxaca, Mexico 7D6N
from28 Oct 2020 to 3rd Nov 2020
Both intriguing and unusual, the Day of the Dead festival (El Día de los Muertos) is both a celebration of ancestors and a huge party. It is a holiday in Mexico to honour and pray for loved ones who’ve departed. During this period in Oaxaca – centre-stage for Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico – cemetery vigils and street parades are not to be missed.
Here is your backstage pass. Join us in Oaxaca, Mexico’s artistic heartland, for a seven-day adventure that gives a truly different perspective of the country. With street dances, painted faces, incredible ruins, picturesque landscapes all around, delicious flavours, and maybe a margarita or two, it’ll be easy to get into the macabre spirit of “Dia de los Muertos.”
