Question

Why Día de los Muertos weekend?

Answer

In Mexico, Día de los Muertos is a sacred and joyful time honoring ancestors and family lineage. This felt like a deeply aligned moment to celebrate our marriage; as a union held within generations of love and memory.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

We recommend Querétaro (QRO). León/Guanajuato (BJX) is also a great option and can be cheaper. I suggest checking both based on your departure city and comparing prices. Driving time to San Miguel is about 1–1.5 hours from either. The shuttle company listed on the 'Travel' page is available to book from either and will bring you directly on-site.

Question

Do I need a visa to enter Mexico?

Answer

No, U.S. citizens just need a valid passport. You’ll receive a tourist card on arrival.

Question

When should I arrive?

Ideally by Thursday afternoon (Oct. 29th) if you’d like to attend the Wachuma ceremony and temazcal sweat lodges, or Friday morning (Oct. 30th) or early afternoon, especially if you don't want to miss the welcome cacao ceremony.

Question

Best way to get from the airport to San Miguel?

Question

Are flights more expensive during Día de los Muertos?
