✨Experience the magic of Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca from the very beginning, as families prepare their homes to welcome loved ones back.✨

Friday, 30th October

9:00 am - 4:00 pm 

In Teotitlán del Valle, you’ll be welcomed into a Zapotec community by an En Vía woman entrepreneur and spend the day immersed in the traditions that bring this celebration to life. Altars begin to take shape, marigolds and candles fill the home, and the first offerings are carefully prepared.

Your day unfolds naturally—perhaps visiting the local market, helping arrange the altar, or sharing time in the kitchen—always guided by the rhythms of the family you are with.

Teotitlán del Valle, known as the “Land of the Gods,” is widely recognised for its weaving traditions that continue to shape daily life. Families combine artisan work with household and community responsibilities, maintaining strong links between tradition and present-day life.

This is a rare opportunity to witness the foundations of Day of the Dead in an intimate and meaningful way, connecting not just with the traditions, but with the people who carry them forward.

Our Day of the Dead tours offer an intimate and authentic cultural exchange, centred on one woman, her family, and her community. The experience follows the natural rhythm of the day rather than a fixed itinerary, allowing traditions to unfold as they are lived.
