Mexico City to Oaxaca: Celebrate Day of the Dead

The adventure

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.
