Day of the Dead in the Panteón de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Tour Details
Far from sadness, Mexican cemeteries transform into places of gathering and festivity on the Day of the Dead. On this guided tour, you'll discover the profound significance of this date, where Mexican families visit cemeteries to share food, music, and anecdotes about those who are no longer with them.
We'll meet at the Central Chapel of the Panteón de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, in the heart of San Miguel de Allende. Throughout this 1-hour tour, you'll see how the funerary art blends with the offerings every year, creating an irresistible atmosphere for spirits to return to their homes.
The itinerary will focus on understanding the Day of the Dead, from its pre-Hispanic origins to the contemporary celebrations of San Miguel de Allende. We'll continue walking through the halls filled with offerings, where you'll see the families' devotion and love.
Of course, you'll learn about the necessary elements that form part of these gifts, such as the pan de muerto, the water, salt, and skulls. Why are aromas and flavors so important during this holiday? You'll find out!
Before ending the tour, we'll dive into the Mexican philosophy before death and the cultural impact that this celebration has locally and worldwide. You'll see the different symbols that shape this ancestral tradition and the vital role it plays in uniting Mexican communities.
Finally, we'll conclude the experience at the meeting point in the Panteón de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe 1 hour later.
