Day of the Dead festival in Oaxaca
Mexico's intense culinary and artistic traditions
From ancient temples and cities to colonial towns
Highlands, jungles and coastlines

The Mexico: Mayans, Aztecs & Conquistadors Day of the Dead Festival (Oaxaca) tour starts in Mexico City and ends in Cancún. The Mexico: Mayans, Aztecs & Conquistadors Day of the Dead Festival (Oaxaca) is a local culture tour that takes 16 days taking you from Mexico City to Cancún and through other destinations in Mexico.

Few countries can compete with Mexico when it comes to unleashing the inner Indiana Jones in each of us. Jungle clad temples and abandoned ancient civilisations make way to colonial era towns with cobbled streets and Spanish architecture. This fusion of history has led to Mexico’s unique culture from the art of Frida Kahlo to Oaxaca’s succulent cuisine. Uncover the country’s historical and cultural layers as we journey from the highlands of Mexico City to the jungles and beaches of the Yucatan via the lands of Aztecs, Zapotec, Mayas and Conquistadors.

This relates to the special Day of the Dead Festival departure which is one day longer and spends the day celebrating the Day of the Dead festivities in Oaxaca.
