Whether you call it “Dia de Muertos” or “Dia de los Muertos” (the Americanized version), ‘Day of the Dead’ parties tend to freak people out. But Halloween was taken so Mexico had to improvise.
Despite the macabre sounding name – Dia de Muertos – this holiday is one of Mexico’s most revered traditions. It is when spirits of our loved ones return to visit friends and family. The returning loved ones might smell a little musty so I suggest you bring deodorant as an offering.
Guests of Check PricesHotel Xcaret can attend the Eco-Park’s Festival, where they will experience a Gala Concert, ghost stories, workshops, art exhibitions, folkloric dance, circus theater, and traditional Mexican music.
In addition to the authentic shows and music, there will also be an Interactive Hacienda where guests can create masks, paint their faces as life and death, light a candle to guide the souls of the departed, and more.
