From Oaxaca: traditions of my Zapotec Town (Day of the Dead)

Enjoy a day celebrating the preparations for the Day of the Dead with a Zapotec family. You will observe the altar of the dead, enjoy a hot chocolate with traditional bread.
Immerse yourself in the deepest traditions of the Zapotec culture with our exclusive Day of the Dead tour in the charming town of Teotitlán del Valle. This tour will take you to the heart of the ancestral celebrations and customs, where you can discover the roots of this festivity in an authentic and close way.

We begin the experience at the Teotitlán market, a vibrant space full of colors, aromas and flavors, ideal to learn about the ingredients and products that give life to the Zapotec gastronomy. From there, you will be greeted by a warm Zapotec family, with whom you will share a cup of hot chocolate and the traditional pan de muerto, a symbol of welcome to the returning souls.

Then, you will be able to admire up close the unique weavings that this family makes, since weaving is one of the main works and an invaluable heritage of their culture. You will hear about their techniques and the meanings behind their patterns and colors. You will also witness the preparations for the altar of the dead, a sacred act in which loved ones are honored with flowers, offerings and candles.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to see the process of making wax candles, which illuminate the path of the souls on their return to the world of the living, being an essential element of the Zapotec altar.

This tour is an invitation to be part of a living tradition, sharing and celebrating with a community that honors their ancestors with love and respect. We are waiting for you to live this unique experience!
