Description
Guaranteed departure with a minimum of 2 passengers, only on Friday, October 29th.
Cultural diversity is one of Mexico's most striking characteristics. The convergence of diverse peoples throughout the country's history has given the country deep-rooted traditions that are visible at any time of year. One of Mexico's most representative festivals worldwide is the "Day of the Dead," when the Mexican people fill cemeteries with orange, and in every home, dishes are prepared as part of the traditional offering. The makers of the offerings await those who have passed away.
