Trevino Adventures: Day of the Dead!

Join us in October 2025  as we fully immerse into a traditional Día de los Muertos celebration!  This cultural experience will focus on the Day of the Dead Celebration, but will also include an exploration of local markets and street food, traditional face painting, the Day of the Dead parade, and more!  Visit ancient sites, learn about historical figures, and enjoy some free time to explore on your own.

This is experience is quite popular and typically sells out every year.  We are booking early for next year's celebration to be sure to secure our spots!

Day 1
Arrive at any time.  Meet your CEO and fellow travelers.
Day of the Dead takes place between October 31 and November 2 and is a celebration and remembrance of the deceased. Families will build private altars and bring large feasts to cemeteries, to be with the souls of the departed. It is believed that the souls will come back to visit and take part in the celebrations. Some of the “ofrendas” (altars) are very elaborate and include sugar skulls and marigold flowers. It is generally a festive rather than somber gathering.

Day 2
Get out and explore Mexico City by walking through the historic center with the CEO. Stop by the Jamaica Market to chat with some vendors, and learn about Day of the Dead goods for sale. Visit the San Juan Market to check out food stalls and sample some delicious Mexican street food. Lunch is included!

Optional/Additional Activity for Day 2:
Lucha Libre Match
Combatants don colorful masks and catapult themselves towards their opponents off of the ring’s ropes, employing a variety of different moves and holds to pin them to the mat for a three-count. The largely Mexican crowds are usually rowdy, making “lucha libre” an entertaining way to throw yourself head-first into the local culture.

Day 3
Get into the spirit of Day of the Dead with a bit of face painting before setting off to take in Mexico City's procession. Enjoy the rest of the day to explore Mexico City and surroundings. In the evening, head out to one of the many Day of the Dead street parties in the city.

Day 4
Enjoy some free time in the morning, then travel to the small town of San Andrés Mixquic in the afternoon to take in a procession to the graveyard. Visit a cemetery to see the elaborate altars and offerings prepared by locals in honor the memories of their loved ones.

Day 5
Take advantage of a free day to explore more of Mexico City and surroundings. Opt to visit the massive pyramids of Teotihuacán, check out the Frida Kahlo Museum, or join the festivities on water on a boat in Xochimilco.

Day 6
Depart at any time.
