Sample tasty street food at the open-air Mercado San Juan, join a calaveritas de azucar (sugar skulls) workshop and take part in a traditional Day of the Dead ceremony. This festival is all about rituals, so you’ll dive straight into the spiritual (and sometimes spooky) ceremonies that have made this tradition so famous.The Day of the Dead celebrations in Tlahuac are included in your itinerary! Additionally, Mexico City hosts a parade between late October and early November, though exact dates are not set until a few days before the event. If the Mexico City parade coincides with your trip, we may need to rearrange some activities so everyone can attend this parade as well. While we can't make guarantees due to the parade's unpredictable scheduling, we're committed to helping you experience both magical celebrations if timing allows., This itinerary is designed to provide the best possible experience of the annual Day of the Dead festivities around Mexico City. As such, there is very limited free time to explore the area’s most popular tourist attractions, including the Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Park. We recommend you stay a few extra days before or after the trip to make the most of this vibrant metropolis., We will be operating multiple departures of this trip so it’s possible that more than one group will be at some locations or activities at the same time. However, each group will have a maximum of 12 passengers with its own dedicated local leader., This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health.
