From Puebla Day of the dead in Atlixco monumental catrinas

About this activity

What makes this Atlixco tour unique in the Day of the Dead season is that you don’t just visit it: you live it with all the senses.

While others only show the places, you tour historic houses, convents, stairs with urban art, panoramic viewpoints and florid fields of cempasúchil, understanding the cultural context behind each site. Also, along the way, you witness the monumental catrinas that fill the city with life and color.

And the best part: you have access to the multi-nurseries, where you walk among thousands of cempasúchil flowers grown by local producers. It is an authentic, enriching and perfect experience to connect with the soul of Mexico in one of its deepest traditions.
