Immerse yourself in the festivities of Mexico's Day of the Dead in culture-rich Oaxaca. A mixture of pre-hispanic indigenous and Catholic traditions, this annual celebration to honour the dead comes together in spectacular fashion. Take in the colourful street parades and costumes, observe candlelit vigils, and devour some of Oaxaca's mouthwatering cuisine like mole.
