Oaxaca's Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead in Oaxaca is not a mourning of death, but a radiant celebration of life. Streets bloom with marigolds, markets fill with sweet bread and chocolate and altars glow with candles guiding loved ones home. Rooted in ancient Zapotec and Mixtec traditions, this festival embraces joy over sorrow, honouring ancestors through music, dance and offerings. This small group tour will expose you to something that is more than a ritual, it is a cultural masterpiece, an invitation to witness how Oaxaca transforms remembrance into a vibrant affirmation of life.  

 

This small group journey departs on the 29th October 2026
