Celebrate Mexico’s most magical season with an immersive Day of the Dead tour. Discover the meaning behind the altars and offerings, taste the flavors of tradition, and end the night with the legendary show of La Llorona on the canals of Xochimilco.
The Day of the Dead is a time when Mexicans honor and remember their loved ones with music, food, and colorful altars. At the Casa del Día de Muertos, you’ll learn the symbolism behind the offerings, taste the traditinal pan de Muerto (seasonal bread), and see artisans at work creating hand-painted bottles and shot glasses exported worldwide.
Then, travel to Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its canals. Board a trajinera (traditional boat) to enjoy local food, a mezcal shot, and the breathtaking theatrical performance of “La Llorona” — an ancient legend of love, loss, and mystery told through music, dance, and light over the water.
