Journeys: Mexico's Day of the Dead in Oaxaca

Celebrate one of Mexico’s most intriguing festivals in the eclectic city of Oaxaca, where indigenous culture holds strong. During Day of the Dead, which takes place at the end of October and early November each year, pre-Hispanic traditions honouring the departed merge with Catholic feasts to create a truly unique holiday. Delve into the beautiful spirit of Día de los Muertos, witnessing spectacular street dances, costumes, and altars while discovering the picturesque landscapes and mouthwatering flavours of Oaxaca.

This trip is for travelers who want to go deep, not wide. It forgoes a multi-city tour to fully immerse you in a single, powerful cultural event in one location. If you favor deep cultural connection over checking off a list of cities, this focused Oaxacan experience is for you.
