Experience Overview
Feel the mystical vibes of the weird and wonderful Dia de los Muertos, or the annual Day of the Dead festival, on a five-day cultural exploration of Mexico City and surrounds.
Feel the mystical vibes of the weird and wonderful Dia de los Muertos, or the annual Day of the Dead festival, on a five-day cultural exploration of Mexico City and surrounds. Visit the museums of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and learn all about their fascination with death, wander about the Tlahuac community, participate in a traditional Day of the Dead ceremony and see elaborate altars dedicated to the deceased. This festival is all about rituals, so dive straight into the spooky ceremonies that have made this tradition so infamous. Oh, and Mexico City’s tacos will make you feel you’ve died and gone to heaven, too.
Highlights
- Join a family in Tlahuac to create an altar (or ofrenda as it's sometimes called in Spanish) to remember your ancestors and join in their colourful cemetery ceremonies.
- Take a walking tour of Mexico City with your local leader, taking in the city’s most iconic sites – the Zocalo, Metropolitan Cathedral and Palacio de Bellas Artes.
- Get the low-down on all the traditions and rituals watching the incredible Day of the Dead parade then fiesta the night away in Mexico City and get into the true spirit of this haunting ceremonial festival.
- Visit the Frida Kahlo Museum in the historic Coyoacan neighbourhood – you'll check out the works in her former home and discover her art often focused on the notion of death.

Beautiful trip that really immersed you in the Day of the Dead tradition. Good mixture of activities in a variety of locations. Visit to Puebla was my highlight. Roxanna was a lovely guide and the group all got on. Definitely a trip to remember.

We did the Intrepid tour for Dia de Los Muertos We started in Mexico City, visited Tláhuac and Puebla Congratulations to Intrepid for creating this excellent immersing tour We loved Tláhuac being welcomed by locals, eat their food, drink their mezcal, visit the cemetery Our exceptional guide Karla is enthusiastic and fun and everyone in the village recognized her Visiting Puebla was truly exceptional too - a beautiful city; and again we were lucky to see a parade and just everything for these festivities Our hotel was changed from the original one and we were upset because we were moved from Zocalo to a further location but it turned out to be better because the neighborhood is trendy, safe, quiet lots of good restaurants The only thing that the hotel could improve is the service at front desk and and quality of breakfast Our van and driver excellent too. Once again I want to mention out tour director/ guide Karla for an above and beyond service We will be back

Nathan is very charismatic and like-able tour guide : he always has great energy and super upbeat attitude. Truly a great problem solver ; being bilingual I got a small taste of how much work it is to translate for everyone at all times and that seems quite stressful to me ; he handle that job gracefully every-time . I had a great time and certainly will be back to Mexico to visit next year .

More than I could have imagined. Everything was well planned and we even got a few bonus excursions. Our guide was excellent. I can't wait for our next trip to the Galapagos. Fantastic experience

I genuinely had the best time ever! ??

The mysterious alchemy of travel experiences never disappoints. We pack a suit case with personal items to arrive at the destination to full our minds with new ideas. Connections made, friendships cast, memories imprinted and empathic horizons expanded. Thank you to all of the staff at Intrepid working to build and ensure safe travel and a very special encore round of applause to our tour leader Valeria Valdivia for being an outstanding ambassador going above and beyond to accommodate all needs and requests! She shared many intimate moments with us including her voice, singing a capella during a bus trip. Her valor and tears during the Día de Muertos alter building ceremony was love made visible. Travel for me is about exchange and the exploration of humanity.
