About the trip

This five-night escorted tour by G Adventures invites travellers to San Miguel de Allende for the Day of the Dead festivities, a deeply rooted Mexican tradition. Arrival begins with a historical walk around the town and a taste of local sweets like pan de muerto and hot chocolate, setting an unhurried tone for the days ahead.

Highlights include a Mojiganga workshop—making the traditional giant puppets that parade through the streets—and a guided walk through the Virgen de Guadalupe cemetery after dusk, where candles flicker among marigold petals and altars. The itinerary also visits artisan villages where Otomi descendants share weaving techniques, and there's a chance to relax in natural hot springs outside the city. Craft cooperatives and the Fábrica La Aurora arts complex further underline the area's creative spirit.

Transport is by private vehicle and on foot, with accommodation in a local hotel. Meals include several communal lunches and dinners to sample regional fare, though many options remain for independent dining. This is a contemplative holiday, best suited to those interested in cultural depth rather than a frenzied festival atmosphere.
