Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido: Day of the Dead
In Mexico, death isn’t the end of the road - it’s the beginning of a huge party.

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.

Itinerary

G Adventures: Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido: Day of the Dead

Day 1: Oaxaca
Arrive at any time. Get to know your group tonight on the rooftop of a mezcalería. Sip some mezcal before heading to Txalaparta to dance the night away — sounds like the perfect way to kick off your adventure with your fellow travellers.
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a festival that runs from October 31 to November 2 to celebrate and remember loved ones who have deceased. Although the festival is to honour those who have passed on, it is a festive and upbeat celebration rather than somber gathering. Families cook feasts and offer them by the graves of those who have passed to encourage them to come back and join in on the festivities. Oaxaca is one of the main hubs of celebrations for Day of the Dead – the cemetery vigils and street parades make this an experience not to miss!

Day 2: Oaxaca
Stop by a local market to learn about local traditions and ceremonial objects used during Day of the Dead celebrations.


Day 3: Oaxaca
Join in the celebrations during a Day of the Dead parade. Experience all that is going on in the zócalo or main square.


Day 4: Oaxaca
Enjoy free time to take part in the celebrations in the zócalo, spend the day checking out nearby artisan towns, or visit the ruins of Monte Albán.
