OAXACA TO PUERTO ESCONDIDO: DAY OF THE DEAD

From €799pp | 7 days / 6 nights | Mexico

OVERVIEW

Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido: Day of the Dead

Guided Small Group Adventures for 18 to Thirties

7 days / 6 nights | Mexico

In Mexico, death isn’t the end of the road — it’s the beginning of a huge party. Rooted in Aztec tradition, Oaxaca’s colourful Day of the Dead festivities have been drawing curious visitors for decades. This week-long tour throws you right into the middle of the action with four straight days of parades, macabre costumes, and market visits in search of sugar skulls. Then, it’s off to the coastal town of Puerto Escondido for some well-earned R&R on the beach you’ll be more than grateful for — or, if you’ve still got the energy, parties galore.
