Don’t miss this tour, it only happens once a year!

The Day of the Dead Tour, the most exclusive once-a-year tour, offers a unique opportunity to experience Mexico City through the lens of its rich Day of the Dead traditions. Begin with a panoramic journey past the city’s streets, admiring some of its most iconic landmarks like the Monumento a la Revolución, the Ángel de la Independencia, or the Paseo de la Reforma.

Visit a cemetery at night, where you can marvel at the beautifully crafted altars made by local families to honor their ancestors while discovering the intriguing blend of pre-Hispanic and Catholic views on death. Learn about this common ritual in Mexico thanks to the insights shared by your certified guide.

Conclude your unforgettable evening with a magical trajinera ride through Xochimilco’s canals, as live mariachi music fills the air and you glide by the enchanting floating gardens, known as chinampas, while singing and dancing to the rhythm of Mexican music.

For the Day of the Dead Immersive Tour, enjoy a trajinera ride around the canals of Xochimilco to begin feeling the mysticism, colors, and emotions of the ancient festivity of the Day of the Dead until reaching the place where the experience will take place: a traditional Chinampa.

The Chinampa Fuego Vivo offers a deeper, more personal connection to this sacred celebration. After the serene trajinera ride, you will arrive at this stunning chinampa illuminated by the warm glow of marigold flowers, known as cempasúchil.

On this ancient land, take part in traditional Day of the Dead rituals, including a heartfelt cacao ceremony and a meaningful offering to honor the departed.
