Mexico City to Oaxaca: Celebrate Day of the Dead
In Mexico, the Day of the Dead isn't about spooky endings - it’s a massive, marigold-scented family reunion. This 8-day trip will take you from the bustling street food stalls of the city straight into the golden fields of cempasúchil (the "flower of the dead") and into local cemeteries where traditions are very much alive. Come for the iconic tacos and market wanders; stay for a perspective on life -and what comes after - that you won't find anywhere else.
Highlights
Soak up the electric history and festive energy of Mexico’s vibrant cities, Get lost in the vast golden fields of blooming cempasúchil in Atlixco, Head to a local cemetery to see Day of the Dead traditions come alive, Hit the bustling markets and devour Mexico’s legendary street food scene
Group Leader
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
