Day of the Dead Tour 31st Oct - 3rd Nov 2017

Hi Everyone,

We are planning our 5th visit to the state of Michoacan for the amazing festivities of Day of the Dead. Join us and bear witness to one of the most traditional celebrations in Mexico, Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). During this celebration families decorate the graves of their lost loved ones with food, drink, photographs and other items that they enjoyed during life. The belief is that their souls return to the earth to listen to the prayers and conversations of their families during this one special night.

If you would like to join us then please write to our email - info@mex-ecotours.com and from there we can send you the payment details.
