Mexico: Maya, Aztecs & Conquistadors Day of the Dead Festival (Oaxaca)
Explore Mexico City, Chichén Itzá and the best bits in between, plus an authentic Día de Muertos experience
Discover Mexico, where jungle temples and abandoned cities make way to colonial towns. This fusion of history has led to a unique culture, encompassing the art of Frida Kahlo and the delicious cuisine of Oaxaca. See it all on a journey from Mexico City to Chichén Itzá, one of the New Wonders of the World. This extra-special adventure, which is one day longer than the standard trip, also spends the day celebrating the Day of the Dead festival in Oaxaca, joining a Zapotec family for a traditional lunch, taking part in a parade and visiting the graveyard at night to see the entire town decorate the graves of their loved ones.
