Ultimate Oaxaca Day of the Dead Experience

Follow the season across seven activity days: a welcome dinner and ghost walk; professional makeup, marigold fields and photos; a local mask-painting workshop; Mitla and Pan de Muerto; a market visit and cooking class; an ancestral temazcal; and a final Day of the Dead gathering at San Felipe del Agua with food, altar-building and a cemetery visit. Some transport and meals are included according to the daily itinerary.

This is the most complete option for travellers who want a coherent week rather than isolated activities. It balances festive, creative and visually striking experiences with historical and reflective ones, while keeping the same group and local guidance across the week. The trade-off is less day-to-day flexibility and the need to arrange your own accommodation.

Activity schedule: 27 Oct welcome dinner and ghost walk; 28 Oct makeup and marigolds; 29 Oct mask-making; 30 Oct Mitla and Pan de Muerto; 31 Oct market and cooking; 1 Nov temazcal; 2 Nov San Felipe event. 3 November is departure day with no included activities. Accommodation is not included.
