Oaxaca's Day of the Dead

Journey to the beautiful and bustling Mexican city of Oaxaca to be a part of one of the country’s most beloved traditions, the Day of the Dead. Far from a mourning ritual, Day of the Dead is a radiant celebration of life; streets bloom with marigolds, markets fill with sweet bread and chocolate and altars glow with candles guiding departed loved ones home. Rooted in ancient Zapotec and Mixtec traditions, the event embraces joy over sorrow, honours ancestors through music and dance, and transforms remembrances into a vibrant affirmation of life. It’s one of the nation’s must-do activities and part of your unforgettable journey through southern Mexico. 

 

This small group journey departs on the 29th October 2026.
