The Mexico City Days of the Dead Tour by Jean Grimm's Mexican Art and Culture Tours

Halloween was never like this – cempasúchiles (flowers of the dead) decorate artistic altars; fascinating Dias de los Muertos rituals combine Aztec and Christian traditions; parades and ceremonies honor the return of the departed souls. The village of Mixquic, once a farming island of the Aztec empire, now a district of Mexico City, holds one of the most outstanding and emotional Days of the Dead celebrations.

In Mexico City, where the archaic coexists with the modern and the contemporary, you will see Diego Rivera’s best murals, and some of Frida Kahlo’s best paintings, as well as magnificent architecture, world class museums, colorful markets and Dia de los Muertos installations and alters (truly, works of art), and you will attend a performance of the Ballet Folklorico de México. You will visit a beautiful hacienda in Huejotzingo with one of the top art collections in the world. In Cholula, Puebla and Cuernavaca you’ll visit some of Mexico’s most remarkable churches. You’ll also visit a unique museum in Cuernavaca and dine in some of Mexico’s finest restaurants.
