Bienvenidos a Mexico! Welcome to Mexico!

Upon arrival at Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport, you will be transferred to your 5* hotel. Your adventure begins with a welcome brief at 6 pm where you will meet your host and settle into your hotel.

Feel the mystical vibes of the weird and wonderful Dia de los Muertos, or the annual Day of the Dead festival, on a five-day cultural exploration of Mexico City and surroundings. Visit the museums of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and learn all about their fascination with death, wander about the Tlahuac community, participate in a traditional Day of the Dead ceremony and see elaborate altars dedicated to the deceased. This festival is all about rituals, so dive straight in to the spooky and sacrilegious ceremonies that has made this tradition so infamous. Oh, and Mexico Citys tacos will make you feel youve died and gone to heaven, too.

Your experience includes:

* 4 nights – 5 days in the 5* Geneve in Mexico City Center with a daily breakfast
* 1 nights dinner in Mexico City
* A tour to San Pedro Tlahuac where you will join a family to create an altar or (ofrenda as it’s sometimes called in Spanish) to remember your ancestors and join in their colourful cemetery ceremonies.
* A walking tour of Mexico City with your local leader, taking in the city’s most iconic sites the Zocalo, Metropolitan Cathedral and Palacio de Bellas Artes.
* Get the low-down on all the traditions and rituals watching the incredible Day of the Dead parade then fiesta the night away in Mexico City and get into the true spirit of this haunting ceremonial festival.
* Tickets to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum in the historic Coyoacan neighbourhood – you’ll check out the works in her former home and discover her art often focused on the notion of death.
* Transfers are included to and from the airport and all internal transfers are also included.

You will also have time to visit local restaurants and spend a bit of time relaxing and seeing the sights in your own time.
