DIA DE MUERTOS
A CULTURAL ODYSSEY
"Jennifer provides the kind of tour that feels once in a lifetime — getting to the essence of the Day of the Dead. She arranges multiple experiences, not just the usual, but finds places other tours don’t go to. We watched as offrendas were being installed. And went to out of the way Pueblos. where customs are unique — and very beautiful. we contributed to the decorations and broke tamales with the townspeople."

TRIP OVERVIEW
Dia de Muertos is an indigenous observation to honour the ancestors...
Many cultures around the world practice some form of ancestor worship between autumn and winter. Perhaps it is nature that instructs us of such considerations when the leaves begin to fall and the last harvest concludes, closing the time-gap between the living and the dormant. This convergence is often explained as a veil so thin, the living and the dead intersect and interact, as though through a porthole between different dimensions...
and it arrives each year with many responsibilities & preparations...
Though the Vigil de los Angelitos and La Noche de Ánimas takes place between the evening of October 31 and November 2 of each year, the preparations that precede this elaborate observation are many, from the planting of marigold seeds to the kneading of Pan de Muerto and tamale preparations. Symbolic pre-Hispanic altars and arches are bound with flowers and erected around the lake region, as well as the gateways opening into churchyards and cemeteries adorned with flowers. No expense is spared by family members to honour their loved ones, right down to the hiring of musicians during the procession of altars and the sharing of pozole, tequila and other traditional foods to countless visitors during these sacred vigils...
You are invited to observe intimate & private vigils with the locals....
We are fortunate to work with Jaime Hernandez Balderas of Animecha Tours, who has been a well respected guide in this region for more than 25 years. With P'urepecha ancestry in his own family, Jaime speaks P'urepecha and has harnessed respectful relationships through countless tours for art collection and cultural observation. We are honoured to work with Jaime for many of our tours, but especially during the Dia de Muertos observations here as he has introduced us to community members and artists, allowing us to also establish meaningful and trusting connections. Our guests have a special invitation to visit select communities, homes and cemeteries during these vigils, and also beforehand during preparations. Our intention is to introduce you to this region and her people before the main events take place, so you feel familiar with this area by the time you cross this cultural threshold for an observation that may forever change your philosophy about life and death...
which means you must arrive with an appropriate offering...
We request that all guests bring $600 MXN each to collect items which we will assemble before the night vigils, as offerings for our hosts. We will create two different offrendas - one that is a communal project shared between everyone, and another that will be your own personal basket to offer to one of our host families. We have already included a small sum in the price of this tour, which will be divided between the families who host us. This donation is to help the families offset the costs of the marigolds and food expected of them, when they host vigils in their homes.
and be ready to accept food offerings from our hosts...
When we enter private homes during the vigils, we will be offered food. This can include pozole, tamales, atole and tequila. Please accept the food, as it is considered rude to refuse it. If you cannot eat it, we will take it from you and handle the conversation with the family. Please do not ever feed your meal to the street dogs, regardless of their begging. This would be viewed as extremely offensive. Please let us know ahead of time, if you have any allergies.
We will build a traditional altar and invite you to bring a photograph....
Families build personal altars during Dia de Muertos, which consist of specific elements and symbolic items. We will be constructing an altar together, complete with the various elements required, so you can build your own altar at home each year. Elements include salt, water, fire, marigolds, copal and photos of your own loved ones. Please bring a 4x6 photo (or smaller) of a loved one who has passed away, so you can honour them during this observation. We ask that you bring a copy, as it's possible that you will not be able to collect your photo prior to leaving....
but your salt dish is meant for your own altar, next year...
When we visit Santa Clara del Cobre, we will work in the home studio of award winning artist Sergio Velasquez, who will be teaching you to make a small copper salt dish. Salt is one of the elements required for a traditional Dia de Muertos altar, and this keepsake is something for you to keep for your future altars. We hope you will cherish the memory of making your own salt pot, while also recollecting the experiences you have during this eclectic and interesting journey.
Our marigold altars will become a part of this years contribution...
Board a traditional wooden boat for a trip across the legendary Lake Patzcuaro to an island where we will work with the locals to construct pre-Hispanic marigold altars. We will collect our flowers in the market, visit a traditional family of bread makers and basket weavers, and spend the day soaking up the tranquility of a peaceful island life that feels like stepping back in time...
Along with Pan de Muerto, which we will have the chance to watch being made...
Pan de Muerto is a traditional "skull and bones" bread that is made annually, during Dia de Muertos. Slightly sweet and typically fluffy, this bread is an important part of the Dia de Muertos celebrations, along with bread that resembles little people. We will be visiting a family of bread makers in an indigenous village to witness their traditional bread-making...
DAY TWO: FRIDAY OCTOBER 23, 2026
FLOATING GARDENS OF THE MEXICA
This morning, following breakfast at Anthony Bourdain's beloved Fonda Margarita Restaurant, we have a date with Frida Kahlo, who is arguably Mexico’s most iconic artist of all time. Casa Azul, or “The Blue House” was the birthplace and home of the legendary artist, located in the Coyoacan neighbourhood of Mexico City. The home was built in 1904 by Frida’s father Guillermo Kahlo, who was a photographer of German heritage. Frida was born here in 1907 and spent much of her life residing in the home, even after her marriage to Diego Rivera. After Frida died in 1954, Rivera fulfilled her wish and transformed their home into a museum, which opened in July 1958. When we visit her home, we will see some of her most famous works, other paintings and sketches, personal belongings such as clothing, jewelry, photographers and letters, collections of folk art, pre-Hispanic artifacts, and even her funeral urn, which still contains her ashes. Her famous red boot is housed here, as are her prosthetics displayed – possibly one of the most personal and intimate parts of this collection, as it brings the observer closer to the painful world that hid beneath the shrouds of her beautiful and carefully curated clothing.
After leaving Casa Azul, we will visit Museo Salon Posada, also located in Coyoacan. This museum houses a collection of works by Mexico’s controversial cartoonist and political satirist, Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). Born in Aguascalientes, Posada was an engraver who spent most of his career in Mexico City, producing thousands of images for newspapers, broadsheets and flyers that captured the attention of the common folk. La Calavera Garbancera is the most internationally known image, later adapted as La Catrina by Diego Rivera and adopted as the feature icon of Dia de Muertos celebrations across Mexico.

DAY TWO: CONTINUED...
Famous for Chinampas, which are man-made fertile islands in shallow water, Xochimilco is home to countless “floating gardens” that were constructed by the ancient Mexica (Aztec) and utilized for growing food. Wooden stakes were strategically driven into the lakebed to outline a rectangle, filled with mud, sediment, plants and organic waste and planted with ahuejote trees (a Willow varietal) to anchor the soil. These fertile and stable plots became one of the most nutrient-rich and productive farming methods ever employed, and were how the ancients grew enough food for the citizens of Tenochitlan (now Mexico City.). The main crops grown here include maize, beans, squash, chili peppers, tomatoes and flowers.
We will visit Xochimilco this afternoon to drift between these fascinating chinampas, enjoying the rural lull of a cosmopolitan city. Our destination is the Island of Creepy Dolls and her mythical origins. We also have a creative project scheduled for our boat ride, so please be prepared to get a little messy, have a lot of laughs and a close encounter with the most iconic feature of Dia de Muertos.
Breakfast Included. Museum Tickets Included. Trajinera Boat Ride Included. Artistic Project Included. All other meals are separate. Alcoholic Beverages are optional for the boat ride.
ISLAND OF DOLLS
Legend tells us about Don Julian Santana, who lived alone on the island in the mid-20th century. One day, he tragically discovered a little girl who had drowned in the canal. A few days later, he discovered a doll floating in the water where she had died.
Believing the island was haunted, Santana began hanging dolls around the island to appease the girls spirit, to honour her memory and to protect himself. The original doll (in the pink dress) was placed inside a cabin on a shrine dedicated to the little girl, but the islands main collection of dolls are exhibited outside.
Some say Don Julian Santana was found drowned in 2001 in the same place here he had found the little girl, but locals dispute this.
The combination of folklore, superstition, grief and ritual are intertwined with the response of enthusiasts who began visiting the island, bringing dolls as contributions to the islands sinister and mysterious energy.
The island of creepy dolls is ranked in the top 20 creepiest places of the world, according to National Geographic.
We look forward to visiting this outlandish place again during our Xochimilco trajinera boat ride through the picturesque and tranquil canals...
DAY THREE: SATURDAY OCTOBER 24, 2026
SATURDAY ART MARKETS
This morning we are destined for the upscale San Angel neighbourhood for breakfast at an ex-convent that has been converted into the San Angel Inn. Conveniently located across the street from the Museo Estudio-Casa Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo, our breakfast is followed by a companion museum to Casa Azul. Designed by famous architect Juan O’Gorman, who we will run into again in Patzcuaro, this fantastic museum is well regarded by those who love the artworks of this couple, famous for their tumultuous and seemingly toxic marriage. For those who are familiar with Frida and Diego’s relationship, this home has the bridge that allowed these temperamental artists much needed space from one another, while also keeping them connected.
From there, we will head to Bazaar Sabado, which began in the early 1960’s here due to it’s architectural and artistic community. Founded by Mexican and foreign artists, the goal was new in their time – a concept of cutting out the middlemen and galleries, aiming to deal directly with their buyers. In it’s early stages, this market was a gathering of artists in private homes and small courtyards, but expanded to become a famous and beloved pastime for Saturday afternoons.
This afternoon, we would like to bring guests to the Sonora Market, which is a bustling mercardo full of all things crazy and wild about Mexico’s market scene. Crowded, colourful, loud and vibrant, this market may not be for everyone, but is a cornerstone of much activity during the week preceding Dia de Muertos, for this is where we will find copal incense, papel picado, sugar-skulls, and also some things that may be a little more shocking, such as birds in cages and other items used for occult practices associated with traditional beliefs, folklore, healing, love and ritual. Though trade has existed here for longer than living memory, it was officially established in the 1950’s.
Breakfast Included. All other meals are separate.
DAY FOUR: SUNDAY OCTOBER 25, 2026
ANCIENT CAPITAL OF THE TOLTEC
This morning, we are on the road for the ancient Toltec Capital of Tollan-Xicocotitlan, more commonly known as Tula. The famed “Atlantean statues” here are not actually from Atlanta, but are Toltec Warriors – and a unique presence among the thousands of archaeological sites of Mexico.
We will have lunch before departing this region for the Pueblo Magico Patzcuaro, where we will arrive on time to check into the hotel, and head for dinner.
Breakfast Included. All other meals Separate. Entrance Fees for Tollan-Xicocotilan Included.
DAY FIVE: MONDAY OCTOBER 26, 2026
DOORS OF SHIMMERING COPPER
This morning, we are off to the Pueblo Magico Santa Clara del Cobre, which is most famed as Mexico’s Copper Town. We will be working with two different families today to learn how to forge copper in the fire. Your project is as small salt dish, which you can use on your dinner table or offrenda, if you choose to build one in your home going forward. This symbolic piece serves as a reminder of your time here, with an opportunity to slow down and spend some moments of laugher in the presence of traditional artists who welcome you into their homes and workshops, to use their tools and learn an introductory level of their creative process. A truly honourable way to spend your morning, for nothing shows gratitude to an artist more than attempting to learn what they have mastered, only to feel so humble about how difficult it really is! And please don’t worry – the artist will help make sure your pieces are presentable – it’s when you see their masterpieces that you will really feel quite gobsmacked by their process!
We will explore the town and have lunch here, enjoying a demonstration for large-scale pieces, and spending time in the plaza to witness the preparations during this wonderful celebration that will already be underway…
Breakfast Included. Lunch Included (Drinks Separate). Workshop Included.
DAY SIX: TUESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2026
THE FABLED ISLAND OF JANITZIO
Janitzio Island is fabled as the origin place of Dia de Muertos. This is likely due to the construction of the statue of Jose Maria Morelos in 1933. Despite not having any connection to these ancient P’urepecha observations, the statue put the island on the map for early tourism in the Lake Patzcuaro region, with Janitzio as the main destination. When tour companies began advertising to bring guests to witness this cultural ritual, many confused tourism efforts and began to promote Janitzio as the place of origin. Considering Tzintzuntzan was the capital of the P’urepecha Empire, and the entire region was settled by the same cultural group, it stands to reason that this practice was widespread. As the island gets flooded with crowds of tourists on Noche de Animas, we steer clear of the chaos and inscribe a more tranquil and authentic experience for our guests. Instead, we will visit the famous island today, so you can witness the village in preparation-mode. If you have trouble with your knees, or balance issues, please bring a walking stick, as the island is comprised of a maze of staircases that are lined with little shops and restaurants. Some of the steps are quite tall, so can be hard on the knees and hips. Once we reach the top, you will have time to climb inside the statue of Jose Maria Morelos, which features wonderful paintings of his life and Mexico’s War of Independence. We will have lunch on the island before returning to the mainland to enjoy free time for the afternoon.
Patzcuaro will have an exceptional art market in the main plaza for the duration of your stay, so this will make a great place to spend some time. The plaza is also lined with all kinds of restaurants and coffee shops to enjoy people watching and soaking up the ambience.
Breakfast Included. All other Meals are Separate. Boat Ride Included.
DAY SEVEN: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28, 2026
WALKING TOUR & FIESTA DE LAS CATRINAS
Teofila Servin is an internationally acclaimed embroidery artist with a studio that is located along our route to Capula this morning, so we will stop to visit her and browse through her exquisite collective. Featuring pieces from her family and community, the storycloths of this area are famed for their whimsical and quaint folkloric imagery, encapsulating local celebrations and lifestyle. Upon arriving in Santa Fe de la Laguna, we will learn about their local indigenous resistance movement and historical value as the first Pueblo Hospital, which was implemented here in the mid-1500’s by Don Vasco Quiroga, who was the first Bishop of Michoacan. This proud community has a lot to speak for, including beautiful black shiny-glazed pottery and the pre-Hispanic style found in the home of Maestro Nicolas Fabian, who we will visit. For those of you familiar with Pixar’s Coco, it just so happens that the inspiration for Santa Cecilia (Miguel’s village) was Santa Fe de la Laguna, including the fact that one of the inspirations for Mama Coco’s characters lived here. Though she has since passed away, we will visit the home of Mama Coco, whose real name was Maria Salud Ramirez Caballero, where the family erects an altar and offrenda in her memory each year. We will enjoy a traditional P’urepecha lunch today, before departing the small village for the enchanting town of Capula.
continued below...
DAY SEVEN: CONTINUED...
Capula pottery is found across Mexico, recognizable by its dot-flower patterns. Once you see it, you will never forget it. Capula is also famous for ceramic Catrina dolls, which harken back to our friend Jose Guadalupe Posada, whose museum we are visiting in Mexico City. We will visit the dreamy estate of Maestro Juan Torres, where art lovers will unravel in his tranquil, sculpture-ornamented garden, galleries with fantastic paintings and bronze pieces, a clothing studio by his daughter Velia, who creates some pieces using fabrics from his paintings and ultimately, the ceramic studio where his Catrina sculptures are made and displayed. Maestro Juan Torres was the first to create La Catrina from clay, designing her so that her head is removeable, in honour of Posada’s original La Calavera Garbancera. If you are a creative person and would like a blank Catrina doll to take home to paint, please let me know well in advance so I can order it for you. We can discuss size, details and prices.
Upon departing from the estate, we will visit the town centre, where the village hosts a lively and vibrant Catrina Festival each year, which means there will be thousands of Catrina dolls on display. There is also a food market here, so if you are still hungry after lunch, you can indulge in the local offerings.
Breakfast Included. Lunch Included. Dinner Separate.
DAY EIGHT: THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 2026
WALK LIKE A PATZCUARENSE
Patzcuaro has a lovely and interesting historical centre, which we will explore this morning. We are also including a tour of the artisan market, as we will be collecting a few items for our offrenda project. Remember visiting Frida and Diego’s home in the San Angel Neighbourhood, designed by Juan O’Gorman? Today, we have a date with Mr O’Gorman at our public library, where he painted an exquisite mural between 1941-1942. After dissecting the mural and learning about the history depicted in it, we will meet at Mezcaleria El Carajo for a wonderful ploughmans lunch, prepared by yours truly! Lunch includes a mezcal, beer or wine. After lunch, Jaime will offer an interesting presentation about Dia de Muertos and the many symbolisms associated with this time of year, including a lot of intriguing insights from pre-Hispanic traditions in comparison to how Catholicism influenced these rites.
Breakfast Included. Lunch Included. Wine, Beer and Mezcal Included. Lecture Included.Dinner is Separate. Items purchased for Offrenda Project are Separate.
DAY NINE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 30, 2026
INDIGNEOUS ORIGINS
The first time I ever saw the flower market in Patzcuaro before Dia de Muertos, I knew I wanted to find a way to incorporate it into our tour – not only to see, but to purchase bundles of flowers and carry them away. One day, I spied a bunch of wooden crosses, which are used in the cemeteries during Dia de Muertos, and found my opportunity. This morning, we begin with the flower market before embarking on a boat ride to a small island, where we will spend the day in a very traditional community. We will be learning about the history behind Pan de Muerto (bread making for this observation) and will visit Floriberta, who is weaving our offrenda baskets for us. After lunch in their community kitchen, we will enjoy a lovely afternoon spent weaving marigolds onto our wooden crosses, which are a combination of a P’urepecha traditional cross, and a Christian cross – evidence of syncretism between the indigenous world view and that of the colonial era.
A Special Note about Local Protocols: Jaime and I will visit this community about a month before your arrival to organize this special day, as it is taboo to just show-up here unannounced. We ask for permission before bringing guests here, as we also do for our vigil experiences. It is traditional among indigenous communities to seek permission before arriving, and you will find this experience to be quite special and memorable.
This evening we are having a fine feast at a fantastic restaurant that is much beloved by everyone in our region. If you are a vegetarian, there are options, but for the meat lovers in the crowd, the specialty is Pork! Porcinos Restaurant awaits us with an incredible feast.
Please Note: Today is one of our longest days, as we will not return to Patzcuaro until around 10 PM. That said, you have plenty of time to sleep in tomorrow!
Breakfast Included. Lunch Included. Dinner Includes Welcome Beverage. Boat Ride Included. Marigold Workshop Included. Please bring $100 Pesos to purchase flowers from the vendors.
DAY TEN: SATURDAY OCTOBER 31, 2026
VIGIL DE LOS ANGELITOS
This morning, we recommend making your coffee and bringing it back to bed to enjoy a tranquil morning! We are not meeting today until our dinner begins at 6:30 PM.
At around 8:00 PM, we are bound for a small village where the locals will be observing important night vigils for the little angels. Though November 1 is the official start-date for Dia de Muertos celebrations, the vigils begin on the eve before, much like celebrating Christmas Eve prior to Christmas Day.
The Vigil de los Angelitos marks the night of observation for children and innocent souls (virgins) who have died over the past year. Unlike the cemetery vigils, these observations take place in the family home, with elaborate altars shrouded with photos and personal belongings and the many gifts guests bring, to honour the family. When we arrive in the village, we will shop for seasonal fruits and marigold flowers to adorn our offrendas, before carrying them to our hosts. This is a very special and meaningful experience and also the first of our observations.
Please be prepared to receive tamales, atole and other traditional foods, including tequila. Though it's okay to pass on the tequila, the locals really do expect us to receive our food offerings, as it’s part of the protocols here. If you are not comfortable eating it, please keep it until we can discard of it later, out of view of our hosts. Please do not feed any of the street dogs, as this would be seen as offensive. We will return to Patzcuaro at around midnight.
Dinner is Included. All other Meals are Separate.
DAY ELEVEN: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1, 2026
PILGRIMAGE TO NOCHE DE ANIMAS
Please try to enjoy a peaceful morning, as today begins an epic, albeit very long journey. We are departing Patzcuaro at 11:15 AM for the enchanting and bustling village of Tzintzuntzan, where we are scheduled for our annual lunch at Las Yacatas. The restaurant doesn’t accept reservations on November 1, due to the crowds, but have made a special exception for our group for many years! We will enjoy a wonderful feast before breaking for a full afternoon of free time. Tzintzuntzan will be a mesmerizing display with sensory overload including loud processions of families dancing carrying burning copal incense and cemetery altars through the streets with mariachi bands and much cheer and celebration. The markets are loaded with embroidery, crystals, pottery and clothing, and the archaeological site sees more visitors today than it likely sees over most months. The cemeteries are now fully decorated, as families arrive at the graves of their loved ones with their “Marigold Arcos” like the ones we made, only much larger. Though most graves are decorated with flowers and offrendas, those with the large arcos being paraded through the streets and erected today usually mark the graves of loved ones who passed away recently, within the past year or so.
Continued Below...
DAY ELEVEN: CONTINUED
We will depart Tzintzuntzan at 4:30 PM for our pilgrimage across Lake Patzcuaro, which includes several cemeteries and an authentic dinner in an indigenous community. We will enjoy an endearing dance performance by P’urepecha children, who will brighten your hearts, and ultimately bring our offrenda baskets to the families of one small village where we will be welcomed into their homes for their observations. We hope to return to Patzcuaro at around 2:30 AM.
Lunch Included. Dinner Included. Private Boat Ride Included. Please remember to bring your offrenda baskets tonight!
DAY TWELVE: NOVEMBER 2, 2026
LAST RITES OF AN ANCIENT TRADITION
This morning, we will meet for a late breakfast at 11:00 AM, due to our late night. We will have a short tour today, visiting 2-3 cemeteries around the quieter side of the lake, where families will be celebrating and opening their offrenda baskets to share food. We will also visit an unusual church and visit an artisanal distillery this afternoon to toast this wonderful tour with Mexico’s favourite spirit, Mezcal!
We are not organizing dinner tonight, as most of you will need to pack and may feel exhausted. If you do wish to have dinner with us, we are more than happy to dine with you on your final night.
Breakfast Included. Mezcal Tasting Included.
DAY THIRTEEN: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3, 2026
HOMEWARD BOUND
Once we have our group confirmed and can discuss flight times out of Mexico City, we will sort out our departure time. It could be as early as 6:00 AM, which means you need to book an afternoon flight no earlier than 2:30/3:00 PM. Alternately, you may decide to stay in CDMX for a few more days to unwind and explore a little more. If you would like a guided tour to visit more of Mexico City’s highlights, please let us know and we would be happy to help you. We work with a fantastic guide who grew up there and has been a guide for more than 20 years, so she will be happy to show you around.
We are not including any meals for this day, as some of you may decide to head to the beach or another region. We will discuss meal options once we know how many of you are returning to the city.
