About the trip

This six-night G Adventures small-group tour delves into Oaxaca's unique Day of the Dead celebrations. After settling in, you'll visit local markets to see the preparations for the festival, including ceremonial objects and sugar skulls. The highlight is four days filled with parades and people dressed in intricate macabre costumes, a vivid demonstration of a deep-rooted Aztec tradition.

After the festivities in Oaxaca, the mood lightens with a transfer to Puerto Escondido on Mexico's Pacific coast. The town's beaches offer a chance to rest or to join invigorating local parties should the mood strike. The contrast between the spirited cultural ceremonies inland and the relaxed coastal setting provides a varied and thoughtful experience.

Your time includes guided walks and private transport between destinations, accompanied by a G Adventures CEO and local guides who provide insights without overwhelming. Shared accommodation enhances the social aspect, and although meals aren't included, the group's suggestions will help navigate Oaxaca's culinary scene. Travel here embraces local rhythms, from early market mornings to the late-night revelry by the sea.
