Vive Travels

Day of the dead program

Breakfast at the hotel, at the agreed time we will go to the south of the city, where we will take a ride aboard a traditional and colorful trajinera (approximately one hour). Time for lunch (not included) Later we will go to San Andrés Mixquic, which means “place of who takes care of the water”. It is the place where the Day of the Dead is organized every year in a traditional way and reflects the culture of this small town. On this day, the famous “Alumbrada” takes place in the pantheon, where homage is paid to the dead who left a memory in this world. Starting at seven o’clock in the evening, people come to the tombs decorated with flowers and light candles. The pantheon is filled with light to show the way to the dead. In the middle of the pantheon is the Temple of San Andrés, which has an altarpiece and a roof that is worth knowing. Back to the hotel.
