OVERVIEW of the Day of the Dead Odyssey

Día de los Muertos

October 30th – November 3rd, 2019

Experience the Traditional Indigenous “Día de los Muertos”

The license plate of cars from Michoacán says “La Alma de Mexico,” which means “The Soul of Mexico.“ And it is true: the crafts, the traditions, the beauty of the state of Michoacán embody the essence of the many- faceted nation on our southern border. We offer this trip as a way for adventurous Northerners to experience the culture of our neighbor to the south, particularly at this time of year when the traditions are so rich and layered during the days of Día de los Muertos.

Three full days are set aside to visit different towns and villages and experience unique cultural traditions.  We’ve also included time to meet local people, time to swim, to sample delicious Mexican cooking, time to visit the major historical sites of Michoacán.  All this while being warmed by the Mexican sunshine.  Come join us on this late autumn adventure. Experience the beauty and profound cultural traditions of our southerly neighbors. In 2008, the tradition was inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
