Experience the Day of the Dead Celebration at Xcaret Hotels

The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a vibrant celebration filled with tradition and significance. Every year, Grupo Xcaret joins in this celebration through the Festival of Life and Death Traditions, an event that pays homage to this ancient Mexican tradition. And what better place to enjoy these festivities than Hoteles Xcaret? 

What is the Festival of Life and Death Traditions? 

The Festival of Life and Death Traditions is a cultural and artistic event held at Xcaret Park, located in the Riviera Maya. During this festival, we honor our departed loved ones through a series of activities that delve into the beliefs and traditions of Mexican culture. From October 30th to November 3rd, visitors can immerse themselves in altars, music, dances, exhibitions, and, of course, delicious traditional cuisine.
