Details

Sample itinerary

We have curated the perfect Mexico getaway with all of the highlights of a traditional activity.

Please note this is a sample itinerary and your actual itinerary would be adjusted based on your selected activities, dates of travel and of course your travel style!

Day 1
Welcome to Oaxaca

Upon arrival at the Oaxaca Airport, you will be transferred by private transportation to your hotel. Get settled and relax before the adventurous second day.

Day 2
Day of Building Traditional Altar for the Dead

A day full of preparations and connections with ancestral culture. At 10 in the morning we will meet to enter the vibrant atmosphere of the local markets, where we will buy the necessary supplies to build our own altar for the dead. With creative hands and open hearts, we will assemble an altar full of colors, aromas, and memories. Don’t forget to bring the photo of your loved one who went ahead on this trip to place on the altar. Once our altar is finished, we will delight in a traditional meal, savoring the exquisite dishes that honor our loved ones.

Day 3
Cemeteries tour

This day, you will have the entire morning free to explore the city center and surrounding areas on your own.

Meet at 7 pm and immerse yourselves in an exciting experience by visiting the region’s most emblematic pantheons. Tour the General Pantheon, the Xoxocotlán Pantheon, and the Atzompa Pantheon, where we will witness the moving “evening” in honor of the deceased. You will feel the essence of traditions as we watch how families decorate the graves with flowers, candles, and offerings, creating a space of remembrance and celebration.

This activity will finish around 1 am the next day.

Day 4
Experience “Paint your Nahual”

This experience immerses participants in the Zapotec culture, where every individual is believed to have an animal spirit, or “tonalli” (tona), that acts as their protector and guide throughout life. Upon death, the tona transforms into a “Nahual,” which continues to guide the person beyond the earthly plane. The three-day journey in Oaxaca includes an introspective activity where participants connect with their protective animal, creatively expressed by painting a figure that represents their inner being. This cultural experience, centered around the Day of the Dead, blends tradition, spirituality, and creativity, offering a profound connection to ancestral wisdom and Oaxacan culture.

Snap some last pictures of your beautiful vacation in Oaxaca. Say your goodbyes, check, and await your private transfer back to the airport to take you back home.
