Join a full-day cultural immersion that will deeply connect you with Mexico’s most meaningful celebration. Begin with pickup in Polanco, then travel south to Xochimilco. Upon arrival, board a traditional trajinera for a scenic ride through the canals, making your way to an active chinampa (floating garden) adorned with vibrant marigolds.

During this experience, create your own mini altar in honor of loved ones who have passed, as well as craft paper marigolds and a lantern to take home as a keepsake. Enjoy a traditional lunch, prepared by local women, served on the chinampa.

Next, head to the charming neighborhood of San Ángel, where you’ll stroll through beautifully decorated streets, visit local art galleries, and explore the Diego Rivera Studio Museum. As the sun begins to set, make your way to the Panteón de Dolores, one of the city’s most iconic cemeteries, located near Chapultepec.

Here, take a short, reflective walk through this historic site, connecting with the deeper cultural meaning of Día de Muertos. Conclude the day with a final transfer back to Polanco, arriving around 8:30 PM.
