Day of the Dead Tour in San Andres Míxquic From Mexico City

Join our small-group (max 12 people) or private (your group only) tour to witness one of Mexico’s most iconic cultural traditions—Day of the Dead in San Andrés Mixquic. Based on feedback from past seasons, we've refined this experience to ensure a smoother, more meaningful visit. By starting earlier in the day, we avoid the heavy traffic and crowds that often build up later, giving you the chance to explore the town and cemeteries while it’s still peaceful.

We begin our journey from Mexico City and head straight to Mixquic, one of the original villages of the Tláhuac area. Upon arrival, we’ll explore the town’s decorated streets and learn about the pre-Hispanic roots of the Day of the Dead. A local guide will share insights into the symbolism of the colorful skulls, marigolds, candles, and the altars (ofrendas) set up to honor deceased loved ones.

You’ll visit the local cemetery where families gather to clean and decorate graves, light candles, and spend time in remembrance. Our small group size allows for a more respectful and immersive experience, and by returning earlier, we ensure a comfortable and well-paced day without delays.

This is not just a tour—it’s a reflection on life, memory, and Mexican heritage, brought to life in one of the most authentic and moving places to witness this celebration.
