Día De Muertos

Vamos a la Playa (del Carmen) Lose yourself in the echoes of ancient Mayan culture through food and once-in-a-lifetime experiences in Playa del Carmen. Learn about and sample mucbil pollo (large tamales filled with chicken, anchiote and chaya), a Yucatan dish traditionally served this time of year and believed to bring a connection between the world of the living and the dead. Other options in the area include a tour of the Pac-Chen eco-village, where you can observe the sacred Hanal Pixan rituals, including a breathtaking Mayan ceremony celebrating the dead inside a cenote. You also won’t want to miss the thrilling Todas Somos Catrinas (We Are All Catrinas) festival honoring women artists and celebrating the beauty and culture of Mexico. This spirited homage to La Calavera Catrina, an icon of the Day of the Dead, includes a parade with participants dressed in elaborate Catrina costumes.
